Knock Doors with Buncombe County Dems to Repair Registrations
Join us for an afternoon of knocking doors to help voters repair their registrations. No experience necessary! We'll provide on-site training on this specific script and the information you need.
More than 100,000 North Carolina voters are on the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ Registration Repair List, meaning they need to repair an issue with their voter registration or risk having to vote provisionally in the upcoming election. Many folks on the list don’t know that they’re on it—most because their registrations were impacted by record-keeping errors that were not their fault.
There are 1,400 people in Buncombe who need to repair their registration! On September 20th we will be knocking on doors of people who still need to update and help them get ready for upcoming elections.
After you've signed up to canvass, click here to watch a recorded training.

Rachel is the proud daughter of Governor Jim and Carolyn Hunt, North Carolina's longest-serving Governor and First Lady.
