Voter Registration

• Volunteers to work at voter registration tables at select locations throughout Napa County, primarily churches, gun shops and gas stations, plus any other locations where voters would be likely to register as republicans. Remember, when these tables are set up all voters must be registered and turned in as they are legal voters even if it is another party.

Best to set up in areas where mostly Republicans loiter.

Other Tasks
