Power of 5 / VR — registration events and polling-place readiness

Execution layer for the P5 / VR coordinator when Events runs registration-forward touches.

Registration event operations (2-hour table model)

Before

  • Confirm forms / links with HQ; print QR to /volunteer and official SOS pages as directed.
  • Train volunteers on what we do not do (no legal advice; escalate).
  • Weather and lighting plan for outdoor tables.

During

  • Two-person minimum at busy tables — one greeter, one navigator.
  • Track honest counts: conversations started, cards handed, assists logged.
  • Capture follow-up owners for anyone who needs a call later (no SSN or full DOB on clipboards).

After (48h)

  • Thank partners and venue hosts.
  • Enter outcomes into rollup; compare to goal.
  • Schedule next touch before energy fades.

Community outreach socials (non-table)

  • Pair Social coverage with one relational ask: “Who should sit with us next time?”
  • Debrief three standout conversations with Events — feed house party pipeline.

Polling-place readiness (high level)

  • Know who owns poll worker recruitment vs. voter info — don’t blur lanes.
  • Build FAQ from official sources only; date-sensitive pages checked weekly during deadlines.
  • Monitor long lines reports; route to leadership, don’t improvise legal guidance.

What good looks like

  • VR events produce named follow-ups, not just paper slips.
  • Coordinators can teach a new volunteer to run the table in one shadow shift.
  • /field-playbook/roles/relational-touch-playbook
  • Events County Clerk checklist for elections office partnership tone.
