Description
About the role.
The Mobile Voting Project aims to make voting as easy and accessible as anything else you do on your phone. We are changing a broken political system and challenging the status quo to advance mobile voting legislation, and the only way to do that successfully is by amassing public interest and support. That’s where you come in.
As the Grassroots Director, you’ll play a significant role in achieving our multi-state mission by identifying and mobilizing the right kind of stakeholders and communities that will drown out opposition and champion modernizing the voting experience.
