What if I do not register anyone to vote?
We’re pretty confident that if you try your best and pay attention to the training, you’ll register a few people. Plan for success!
My political beliefs are very different than a lot of people I know. Can I still volunteer?
YES! HeadCount is a non-partisan organization and we welcome people with all viewpoints and perspectives!
What if I leave the show early?
For a concert or single-day event, you are free to leave the show early as long as you stay until the HeadCount table shuts down or are excused by your Team Leader. If you have a reason you expect you’ll need to leave early, please communicate that with the Team Leader before being confirmed for…
What is the drug/alcohol policy?
You must be 100% sober when volunteering at a HeadCount booth or on a volunteer shift. No alcohol or drugs can be consumed before or during the time you volunteer. Once your shift is done, please remove your HeadCount t-shirt if you plan to consume alcohol.If you enter an event or festival with us, you…
Do you provide transportation to events?
No, we’re afraid you’re on your own for getting to and from the venue. For festivals we encourage volunteers to carpool together, and will try to help you arrange that when possible.
Will I get to meet the band?
We can’t say that happens regularly. The artists we work with are very supportive and from time to time our volunteers get to meet them, but this is unusual and not something to plan on.
Can I show up late and still get in?
No. Being late is a guaranteed way to create a difficult circumstance for everyone involved. If you are late and miss the opportunity to enter the venue with your team leader, you very likely will be denied access to the show.
Can I bring a friend?
We encourage you to invite friends to also sign up for a show you’re volunteering at. If you have friends signing up with you, be sure to let the Team Leader know so they can do their best to confirm you both. However, you can not bring friends unless they are confirmed as a volunteer.
What is the dress code?
We require you to look respectable and non-partisan. This means you can dress any way you wish within the following limitations: * Absolutely no partisan pins, t-shirts or statements may appear on your person
How old do I have to be?

Minors ages 13 to 15 can only be at an event when their parent or legal guardian also volunteers, and both are confirmed in advance.Those age 16 or 17 may volunteer with parental permission.
