Multipartisan assistance team (mat)

What is a "Multipartisan Assistance Team"?

A Multipartisan Assistance Team, or "MAT," is a group of person appointed by the Davidson County Board of Elections office to provide assistance with mail-in absentee voting to voters living at facilities such as nursing homes, hospitals, clinics, or rest homes. The makeup of the Team includes, at minimum, two people who have different party affiliations (or, in the alternative, persons who were appointed by a by a bipartisan county board of elections). So, if you request help from a MAT, you should receive impartial, professional assistance. Their job is to help you vote, but your voting choices will remain confidential.

What does a MAT team do?

Multipartisan Assistance Teams (MATs) are authorized to help voters in the following ways, with specific legal requirements:

  • Providing voter registration services
  • Requesting an absentee ballot
  • Serving as an absentee witness
  • Marking the absentee ballot
  • Sealing the ballot and completing the absentee application
  • Mailing the voted absentee ballot in the closest U.S. mail depository or mailbox, if the voter has a disability

In the event that a resident requires the help of a team member with the actual marking of a ballot, the voter's selection is kept in strict confidence.

How do I request help from a MAT?

Contact the activity coordinator of your facility. If you do not know who the activity coordinator is, or if there is no activity coordinator, talk to staff or management at your facility.


You can also contact our office directly to request a MAT team.
