Why Register Green?

By registering Green, you help the Green Party grow. Once we have 1% of registered voters in Maryland registered as Green, we qualify for automatic ballot access. This will save volunteers from having to petition for each Green candidate to get on the ballot. Send a powerful message to the Democratic and Republican parties, tell them you are not happy with their policies and practices.

Registration Training

In order to register others, you need to attend a class and be certified by the Elections Office as a Voter Registration Volunteer. This allows you to register voters in Montgomery County and throughout Maryland.

Training sessions for Voter Registration Volunteers are given at the Board of Elections office, 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville. Classes are given each Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. You do not need an appointment to attend the class. Evening classes can be arranged for groups of 5 or more; call (240) 777-8500 and speak to Betty Ann Lucey about scheduling an evening training session.

At the end of the training session, you will be issued a certificate, which identifies you as a Voter Registration Volunteer, and given all the forms needed to register voters in Maryland.

Tabling Equipment

For a larger affair, you will need: a table, tablecloth, chairs, banner, cash box, receipt book, voter registration cards, clip boards, literature, donation jar and possibly goods to sell.

If you wish to table on a smaller scale, just bring an ironing board, a tablecloth, voter registration cards and some literature. A narrow ironing board is at just the right level for writing and has the advantage of not blocking the whole sidewalk. This may be the best option for tabling in front of a grocery store or metro station.

Tips for Tabling Coordinators

  1. Phone to confirm with volunteers.
  2. Be clear about the time and location of the meeting place.
  3. Start the day with plenty of small change.
  4. Keep track of all cash received.
