We just sent out poll worker guidance to help provide a respectful experience for gender non-confirming, nonbinary and transgender voters and we've already heard from an election commissioner promising it will be at every polling place in their county.https://www.aclunebraska.org/en/press-releases/nebraska-groups-work-make-polling-places-welcoming-gender-non-conforming-non-binary …
This is about making sure everyone feels welcome as they practice their fundamental right to vote. We partnered with @OutNebraska, @nebraska_table, @CivicNE, @BLACKandPINKorg and the Professional Transgender Resource Network Nebraska to put together this 2020 guidance.
Tips for success include - Using respectful language without assuming gender. - Knowing it's okay to ask what name a voter would like you to use and their pronouns. - Apologizing and moving forward after a pronoun mistake.
- Expecting that someone's appearance may differ from ID if they are among the very small group of voters that need to confirm identity w/ documentation and choose to do so w/ ID. (Only applies to first time voters who registered by mail and did not verify eligibility earlier.)
- Keeping it private when you learn about a voter's transgender, GNC or nonbinary identity. - Validating how voters present themselves, like you would anyone else.
Never assume gender, ask what someone's "real" name is or ask about medical information.
This is about making sure every registered voter can exercise their right to vote. The results of this election will impact us, our communities and our rights. Every eligible voter must be counted.
Voters, we know you probably have questions too. Find answers to common questions and more on our standalone website, TransNebraska: https://transnebraska.org/know-your-rights-as-a-transgender-or-lgbtq-person#know-your-rights-while-voting …
