Citizen Journalists Video the Vote

Video the Vote 2008

Video the Vote is a national initiative to protect voting rights by monitoring the electoral process. We organize citizen journalists—ordinary folks like you and me—to document election problems as they occur. And then we distribute their footage to the mainstream media and online to make sure the full story of Election Day gets told. Watch our 2006 highlights and join us as we Video the Vote this November.

Sign up to Video the Vote and join a growing network of Americans working together to monitor and improve our election systems. We are concerned citizens, amateur videographers, voting rights activists, and filmmakers united by a commitment to strengthening democracy through citizen oversight. And we need your help:

• Videographers - Get dispatched to cover problems in your area or go out and document on your own.
  
• Dispatchers - Monitor the national voter hotlines and then send out videographers to get the stories.
  
• Drivers - Help videographers get to where they're going.
  
• Uploaders/tech support - Make sure volunteer videos get online and to the media as fast as possible.
  
• Bloggers - Review volunteer footage and spread the word about the best clips.

Sign up to help ensure that the full story of Election Day gets told. And once you do, please spread the word.
