Election administrators across the country rely on citizen poll workers to staff polling places and vote centers and deliver other key services. Each year, election officials need new volunteers to run successful elections.
Sign up to be a poll worker and support democracy in action. When in doubt about how to become a poll worker, look for the information your local election office provides.
