Trainings
Election Event Planning
This training was created by members of the Portland Area local League chapter. It covers how to organize and conduct election events, such as candidate and issue forums.
League members are often asked to provide voter registration services at events like summer festivals, rallies, and naturalization ceremonies for new citizens. This online training goes into detail about how to ensure we're going through the process correctly. See our Naturalization + Voter Registration page for more information.
