TREK THE VOTE
For Fair Elections
Trek the Vote for Fair Elections is a grassroots, fan-driven volunteer drive.
Our mission is to connect our fellow American Star Trek fans with non-partisan groups working to ensure a fair and equitable electoral process in our communities, and to carry the principles and work ethic we've learned from Star Trek along for the ride.​

POSSIBLE MISSIONS
We offer missions for Starfleet Officers with a variety of capabilities and requirements and we are adding more opportunities all the time.
PROFESSIONAL POLL WORKER
Starfleet officers assigned to this posting will serve inside of a polling place; checking voters in, handing them their ballots, and answering questions related to the process of voting. Masks will be required.
INFORMATION ACCURACY OFFICER
Experts anticipate an unprecedented amount of disinformation intended to prevent people from voting this election cycle. Starfleet Officers assigned to information accuracy roles may conduct proactive nonpartisan voter outreach or monitor social media to identify and report disinformation.
VOTER RIGHTS & SAFETY OFFICER
Voting should be safe, secure, and accessible. Starfleet Officers assigned to these postings will identify and report voter intimidation at the polls, ensure polling places have proper PPE and are wheelchair accessible, monitor line length, and answer questions from voters who are having trouble understanding their rights.
VOTER MORALE OFFICER
Many voters will face long, uncomfortable lines and require food, water, and bathroom breaks. Starfleet Officers assigned to these postings will provide sustenance to voters and hold their place in line when they need to use the restroom.
FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIAN
Field service technicians set up and operate the equipment used for checking in voters and marking and casting ballots. Starfleet officers posted to this assignment will attend one half-day training in late October and then work one fifteen-hour day on November 3.
FULL COUNT RESERVE SQUAD
The results of this election will not likely be known for several days, or even weeks after 11/3 because so many people are voting by mail. All officers will receive a communique from Starfleet Command with civic engagement assignments in the days and weeks after 11/3 to ensure every ballot is counted.

FREQUENT QUERIES
ARE YOU FOR ANY CANDIDATES? ARE YOU AFFILIATED WITH ANY "TREK THE VOTE" FUNDRAISER?
We are not affiliated with any partisan initiatives which may happen to have the same name.
​
Each individual member of the Federation Council is free to express their own opinions about everyone and everything on the ballot, but Trek the Vote for Fair Elections is a non-partisan initiative.
​
That means our only interest is to have an election in which every eligible American gets to vote easily and safely and each vote is scrupulously counted.
WHY DO YOU SAY THERE WILL BE MISSION OPPORTUNITIES AFTER ELECTION DAY?
Most Americans are used to getting election results the night of the election, but because so many people are voting by mail this year, it will likely take days or even weeks before we know the results.
​
We are basing our plans to offer another set of Trek the Vote missions to volunteers after November 3 on the findings of the non-partisan Transition Integrity Project, which projected a high likelihood that significant public engagement will be required in the post-election period to ensure that every vote is counted before results are certified or announced.
ARE YOU AN OFFICIAL STAR TREK PROJECT?
Star Trek is the intellectual property of CBS.
We are a grassroots network of Trek fans, actors, and behind-the-scenes professionals and not affiliated with CBS.
ARE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME?
Absolutely. Trek the Vote for Fair Elections adheres to the Prime Directive. We set our desired outcomes to one side and focus on ensuring a fair and equitable election.
