take voter surveys

The app is pre populated with voter experience surveys that correspond with the method you chose to cast your vote.

If you went to your polling station to vote in person, take the Polling Place survey to tell us how it went. If you're voting by mail for the first time, send in some comments on the process in your state. These tailored surveys will help to easily pinpoint voting processes that work seamlessly, or the ones that need immediate attention.

*Remember: it is never safe to take photos of other voters. Guard My Vote is here to protect your voting experience, so only share what your state laws allow you to share.*

make observations

Unexpected things come up. Take notice of those, too.

If you are filling out your mail ballot and you see that it is damaged, take a picture and report it with an Observation. We'll document the issue and give you a clear and quick path to send it to your Secretary of State. If you're at a polling station and a poll worker goes above and beyond to make sure your vote is accepted in time, share that on socials to give credit where it is due. The app makes these one off occurrences easy to report, record and share.
