VoteRiders is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that helps people get their state ID or driver license so they can vote. The last step in the process after they have collected the underlying documents is to go to the DMV or Tax Collector's office to get their ID issued. The exact time each week is based on available appointments but is usually in the morning.
The volunteers for this opportunity will be responsible for ordering a Lyft or Uber ride for the voter to get to their appointment, where the volunteer will then meet them and accompany them to their appointment and pay for the ID or driver license fees.
All costs will be covered by VoteRiders via a pre-paid company debit card.

Mission Statement
VoteRiders is a non-partisan non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their right to vote. VoteRiders informs and helps citizens to secure their state-issued ID or driver license, as well as underlying documents, such as a birth certificate and social security card. VoteRiders collaborates with other organizations in the community that are providing services to people and who may need ID to access those services, such as healthcare, housing, employment and more.
Description
VoteRiders was founded in 2012 after a number of states began enacting strict voter ID laws and there were no organizations providing voter ID assistance. VoteRiders built a robust website with information for all 50 states and DC, including details on what ID is required to vote both in-person and absentee. We have a toll-free number accessible via telephone, SMS, or chatbot on our website, staffed by trained volunteers who are experts on voter ID. These volunteers will help all voters determine if they have the correct ID to vote in their state, and if not, to provide assistance in securing an ID.
We help voters who need to obtain ID to vote in their state with services including:
* covering the cost of required documents (birth certificates, Social Security cards, name-change court orders, etc.) for low-income voters
* arranging transportation to their local DMV or SSA offices to secure their voter ID
* pro bono legal assistance with documentation; and * information about voter ID requirements, via our toll-free Voter ID Hotline (844-338-8743), online and in-person with on-the-ground teams
