POLLWATCHERS INFORMATION
Summary - by state - of what we know about who can be in the polling place to observe on Election Day.
The article is here. There is a PDF of the article at the bottom of the page also. Link is here: https://www.verifiedvotingfoundation.org/downloads/WHO%20CAN%20OBSERVE.pdf
This is not a comprehensive list, but covers more than half the states...
Note in some cases rules change after the polling place closes, e.g. for observing the tabulation of votes, so whenever one is planning to observe, it's good to check the rules. This is just meant to be a starting point. If you know of changes or additions, we'd be glad to hear about them.
Election Protection Volunteers Needed
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is currently recruiting Election Protection volunteers. (During the 2004 election cycle, Election Protection mobilized 25,000 trained volunteers, including 8,000 legal volunteers, who were recruited to monitor polling places, educate voters, facilitate a dialogue with local and state election officials, provide legal support to poll monitors, and answer the voter protection hotline, which received over 200,000 calls from voters in all 50 states.)

The Parallel Election (PE) Project
from their website:
"The Parallel Election Project at http://thelandesreport.com/ParallelElections.htm is an effort to return local control and meaningful oversight to elections in America. Our current voting system is completely untrustworthy. State election officials across the country have privatized and outsourced our elections to a handful of domestic and foreign corporations. It is an open door to massive vote fraud. We want to change that. We have decided to run our own Parallel elections in order to compile hard evidence of how voters really voted. We are organizing to place Parallel Election Pollworkers (PEPs) at as many polling stations as possible."
