Urgently needed: More Republican Multi-Partisan Assistance Team Members – the board will select members on August 22 so applications must be in as soon as possible. This is a paid position. Electoral Board did not have enough Republican applicants in 2021, so Unaffiliated voters were used instead of Republicans on some teams.
The MAT is a group of voters who have been appointed by the New Hanover County Board of Elections to provide assistance with absentee-by-mail voting to voters living at assisted-living facilities. MATs consist of at least two voters of different party affiliations who visit assisted-living facilities as needed throughout the Absentee Voting period.
You May NOT be an officer or precinct chair of the New Hanover GOP and serve on the MAT!
