Poll workers’ responsibilities
- Poll workers ensure election technology functions properly and efficiently, which minimizes lines and delays

- Poll workers can also help voters whose first language isn’t English or who have mobility issues
It is vital to have a poll worker assisting at the polls to ensure the democratic process is accessible to all.
What are the requirements?
Depending on your jurisdiction, some poll work is paid, some is volunteer, some is open to people as young as 16. Know a person who needs a temporary job or a high school student looking for employment or a volunteer role? Now’s the time to spread the word.
Also good to know: your party affiliation doesn’t matter as it is a non-partisan role.
