Star Trek Celebrities Reunite To ‘Trek The Vote’ For 2022 Midterms – Watch Starfleet Recruitment Video – TrekMovie.com

In just one month, on November 8th, the midterm elections will take place in the United States. So, once again, a group of stars from across the Star Trek franchise band together to help recruit “Starfleet” volunteers to help with election integrity with the non-partisan group Trek the Vote.

Trek the Vote 2022

Founded ahead of the 2020 election, Trek the Vote works to provide volunteers with a wide range of partner organizations to support voting rights, improve election transparency, and help election administrators meet their staffing needs.

For 2022, Trek the Vote is partnering with Common Cause, Fair Count, Center for Common Ground, Power to the Polls, Pizza to the Polls and Scrutineers to offer volunteerism to Star Trek fans through the Trek the Vote website. Depending on the answers to a short questionnaire, the volunteers have the opportunity to be trained as poll workers; reach out to voters; monitor social media to report disinformation; identify and report voter intimidation during elections; address accessibility needs at polling stations; answering questions from voters who have difficulty understanding their rights; and deliver food and water to voters waiting in line to vote in person.

A number of Star Trek celebrities are supporting and helping Trek the Vote for 2022. Some of them can be seen in this recruitment video that welcomes visitors to the official website.

Trekkies can help make votes count

Star Trek stars involved in the project include Star Trek: Voyager stars Kate Mulgrew, Tim Russ, Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill; TNG stars Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden and John de Lancie; DS9’s Chase Masterson and Andy Robinson; and Discovery’s Wilson Cruz and Anthony Rapp.

“Star Trek fans are a wonderful group,” said Kate Mulgrew (Voyager, Prodigy) in a statement. “They are intelligent, committed and not afraid to be passionate about the future. I can’t think of a better way for them to harness that energy than to keep our democracy running smoothly. I hope they all sign up for Trek the Vote.” (Captain Kathryn Janeway, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Prodigy)

Organized by Trekkies Organizing for Fair and Equitable Elections (TOFFEE), the project this year includes an October 9th panel discussion on restoring public trust in elections with Star Trek Voyager’s Tim Russ in conversation with election security and transparency experts from Trek the Vote Partner scrutineers .

Georgia-based voting rights group Fair Count is organizing an October 20 phone bank with Star Trek: Voyager’s Robert Duncan McNeill that will reach underserved and underrepresented voters in the state of Georgia. For more information about this event CLICK HERE.

“In an election year as crucial as 2022, voting isn’t enough,” says Scrutineers Executive Director Emily Levy. “In addition to voter registration, poll trips and polling station work, we need thousands of volunteers to show up and watch the vote count. Star Trek fans are detail-oriented, passionate about the future, and respect the expertise of electoral professionals—which makes them great candidates for the job.”
