Volunteer As A Poll Worker​

Poll workers are the people who staff Election Day precincts and Early Voting sites. They perform the actual work of opening and closing the voting site, checking in voters, issuing ballots, and handing out stickers. They also help keep voters safe and ensure that the rules are followed.

Poll workers have different roles within the voting site. This chart from the Cumberland County Board of Elections does a great job explaining the different positions.

You can also contact your county Board of Elections to apply and learn more about where they need help!
