📚 Voter Assistance Training

We have had a great response from around the world to our Live-On-Zoom Voter Assistance training sessions.  So we are holding more of them!  Take a peek at our Events page for upcoming sessions.

We have scheduled a special In-Person Voter Assistance practice session this month.  It will be on May 27th at 5:30pm at the Tap & Barrel at Canada Place.  To attend this session, you must have passed the Module 1 Voter Assistance Quiz. You can RSVP here.
