Who We Are:
The Election Protection Coalition of Arizona is a nonpartisan effort by a group of partner organizations to ensure eligible voters are able to participate in our democracy without threats of intimidation, overly burdensome policies, or long lines. We believe the cornerstones of a vibrant democracy are voting rights and meaningful access to the ballot. We work to tear down barriers to civic participation, combat misinformation around voting, and modernize outdated election rules that keep citizens from voting. We rely on volunteers and voters to observe polling places across the state and report any potential voter intimidation, equipment malfunction, or other barrier to voters.
The Election Protection Coalition of Arizona is committed to advancing equity in our democracy by centering the voices of communities of color and other historically disenfranchised Arizonans. Strong applicants will have a demonstrated commitment to equity. The EPCAZ encourages applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status, and record of arrest or conviction.
