The fair, secure, and nonpartisan administration of elections is essential for fostering trust in election outcomes. But who are the people we rely on to perform this complicated job correctly, what are their responsibilities, and why are they essential? Continuing its webinar series on the election administration workforce, the Election Working Group’s (EWG) second event will spotlight poll workers and their various experiences facilitating this crucial democratic process.
Each election has national implications but is a hyper-local activity that community members support. This webinar will examine the responsibilities of local poll workers and the growing number of challenges they face while on the job. It will also delve into the recruitment and training struggles and discuss ways every citizen can support these vital workers and the election process. We are all critical parts of this democracy, so join the EWG to learn more about the election workforce and perhaps find the inspiration to become a poll worker yourself.
