Partnership in Democracy

The Corporate Pride partnership encourages local businesses and organizations to staff portions of polling locations as an outreach and team building project that incorporates community service, social responsibility and civic participation.

Participants can work the full 16-hour day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. or split their time into a morning and evening shift.

There is no monetary compensation for this program, rather the experience of working together as a team, assisting your neighbors through the elections process and promoting your organization and civic dedication.
