Prospective Poll Workers
Elections are a community endeavor and offer many opportunities for folks to get involved.
One way to help your community on Election Day is to sign up to be a poll worker.
Poll workers are individuals who work at the polling places on Election Day.
They are a critical part of the election process and play a vital role in making sure everything runs smoothly for voters.
Each election requires over 1,000 workers to operate 150 voting precincts, early voting sites, and Election Central.
