Poll workers are responsible for setting up and closing a polling place, helping voters understand their rights, and protecting ballots and voting equipment. You can expect a full day of work on Election Day, in what's guaranteed to be a memorable experience. All poll workers are provided with PPE and training, and in many districts, they are paid.
About Power The Polls
Poll workers are vital to ensuring our elections run smoothly. In the midst of COVID-19, America is desperately short on poll workers. These workers tend to be above 60—one of the most vulnerable demographics in the pandemic. It's more important than ever to harness the vital energy of young people on the frontlines, AKA the polling sites.
