How to sign up in your community?
Each state recruits poll workers differently. Typically signing up to be a poll worker is done with your local election office. In some places this is a county election office but it may also be a registrar or clerk at the county or local level.
About National Poll Worker Recruitment Day
National Poll Worker Recruitment Day is a national awareness day established by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to encourage people to help America vote by serving as poll workers.
By encouraging more people to become poll workers in their communities, National Poll Worker Recruitment Day aims to address the critical shortage of poll workers, strengthen our democracy, inspire greater civic engagement and volunteerism, and help ensure free and fair elections in November and beyond.
Amid COVID-19, America is facing a critical shortage of poll workers. Even as many states expand access to vote-by-mail and absentee voting options, millions of Americans – especially voters with disabilities and those who lack reliable mail service – will continue to rely on in-person voting to cast a ballot. . . .
Poll workers are critical to the success of an election. Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and can help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all. By signing up to be a poll worker, you can Help America Vote.
While specific duties and compensation vary depending on location, poll workers are the face of the election office during voting. Most jurisdictions task election workers with setting up and preparing the polling location, welcoming voters, verifying voter registrations, and issuing ballots. Poll workers also help ensure voters understand the voting process by demonstrating how to use voting equipment and explaining voting procedures.

I am a poll volunteer in Fayette KY. We are being told we are not needed. In order to work this election, you have to be able to work the complete three weeks. I told the county clerk’s office they are stopping the majority of volunteers. She said they are trying to help everyone. There will be no volunteers helping to count the mail-in votes.
What an awesome opportunity to pray. If you are there as a poll worker, you can pray silently for every person who enters the polling location to vote according to God’s perfect will. I used to volunteer at a home for foster babies and had the privilege of holding those precious little ones and praying over them and singing over them. It was awesome!
I signed up last week to be a poll worker.
