Volunteers Make the Difference

Seed the Vote works to build the number and power of progressive elected officials, while also blocking the far right from taking power in federal elections. We do this by sending volunteers to “battleground” states to doorknock and phonebank in primaries and the general election.

Ballot Curing

Join us for IN-PERSON ballot curing in Southern California

We still have the opportunity to win Democratic control of the House of Representatives, and we must act NOW.  Ensuring all votes are counted in the closest House races is critical to block a Republican trifecta. There are a few House races that are extremely close, and it’s still possible they will flip Democrat, but we must cure enough ballots that otherwise wouldn’t be counted! And even if Republicans win a majority in the House, the smaller their majority, the harder it will be for them to pass extreme legislation like a federal abortion ban.

We are looking for volunteers who live in or can easily travel to Orange County (CA-45) in California, where the race is still winnable, over 30,000 votes are still left to be counted, and over 1,000 ballots need to be cured.

We are especially looking for bilingual Spanish or Vietnamese speakers.

What is ballot curing?

There are thousands of voters whose ballots will not be counted unless they can “cure” their ballot by fixing a mismatched signature, or submitting proof of identification. Ballot curing involves finding people whose ballots were rejected and getting them to contact the elections office to certify their votes so they can be counted.

You will be given a small list of voters to locate. Ballot curing is like being a private detective supporting democracy! We are tracking voters down with creativity and persistence. These are people who already voted and want their vote to count.

What is required to volunteer?

  • Provide your own car and drive solo. (We may be able to provide rental cars in some cases).
  • Have a smart phone you can use for texting, calling, and using Whatsapp
  • Willingness to be very persistent in finding and reaching voters, and creative in how you do so.


Is there financial assistance?

We are looking for people who live nearby, or who can get to Orange County easily without flying. If you can doorknock for multiple days but would need financial support for travel costs, please let us know at stvote.org/electiondefense. We will let you know if we’re able to provide financial assistance.
