Special Assignment: Indy Documenters at the Polls

Your Chosen Polling Location

On election day, Documenters will interview neighbors at the polling location of their choice as a part of Mirror Indy’s live election coverage.

Your assignment will last two hours and be due an hour after you leave the polling location. Assignments will not be accepted after 7 p.m. Submissions are accepted via the assignment page at Documenters.org, email, or text. This is a quick turnaround, and we appreciate your willingness to report on election day. Live-tweeting roles have the same requirements.

The assignment must include

• Start and end time
• Polling Location address
• Interviews from at least three voters including:
• First and last name
• Why did you come to vote?
• Which ballot are you voting on? Or What is your party affiliation?
• Which neighborhood are you from?

Please include:

• Pictures of the voters with their first and last names
• Interview audio
• One to two pages of single-spaced timestamps for notes roles
• Follow-up questions and observations

Documenters may also include:

• Photos of the polling location’s exterior
• Video
• Personal social media content
