And would add: make sure you know state laws regarding voter ID requirements. It does no good to get people to the polls if they are turned away. If IDs are required, help identify potential voters who are least likely to have them and help them obtain what they need long before going to the polls. If birth certificates and such are required, that may take some lead time to obtain.

If possible, volunteer as a poll watcher to try and keep the process honest. If people report vote flipping or other signs of problems, make sure to know the proper people to contact.

We all have our disagreements about preferred candidates, but surely we are united on the necessity of voting and having those votes counted correctly.
