• Monitor developments in local election administration and lead advocacy efforts to proactively expand voting access;
• Identify and resolve obstacles encountered by voters, ranging from individual problems to those with wide-scale implications;
• Develop expertise on state voting and election administration law and collaborate closely with partners to ensure voters have easy access to accurate information on where, when, and how to vote;
• Support voter education efforts, including creating and reviewing materials and engaging with local organizations; and
• Additional duties as assigned by the Voter Access Director and Deputy Voter Access Directors.

• Good judgment and ability to solve problems under pressure; comfortable working in fast-paced environments with shifting timelines and priorities.
• Ability to build and maintain relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders including election officials, party leaders, volunteers, and coalition partners.
• Willingness to work long and irregular hours (nights/weekends) as Election Day approaches and during early vote and Election Day operations.
• The preferred candidate will be proficient with Votebuilder/NGPVAN, spreadsheets and other productivity tools found in Google Workspace Suite/MS Office, and Mailchimp/other email marketing tools (or possess demonstrated ability to learn quickly).
• A racial justice perspective on voter access issues, with emphasis on voter suppression’s disproportionate impact on communities of color, as well as how we operate internally at DPG.
