Be a Poll Watcher

Help Assure Elections are Conducted According to the Rules

The primary duty of a watcher is to observe the conduct of the election at the location where the watcher has been appointed. A watcher may point out to an election judge or clerk any observed irregularity or violation of the Texas Election Code.

In order to serve as a poll watcher, you must be certified by a political organization, which then assigns you to a specific polling location, where you present your credentials to an election official.
