Easy as 1-2-3 - Become an Election Hero
Becoming a poll worker is as easy as saying, simply contact your local county election official, typically your county auditor, to let them know you are interested in becoming a poll worker. Find your County Election Official.
1. Attend Training
Your election official will notify you of a training class to give you instructions on poll worker duties. Trainings are typically no more than two-hours.
2. Set Up the Election
On the day of the election, you will help set-up the polling location you will work at before your friends and neighbors arrive to vote.
3. Helping Voters
Once the polling location opens, you may help voters in a variety of ways:
- checking-in voters
- handing out ballots
- addressing questions
- assisting with equipment
You will also help your fellow poll workers close down the polls at the end of the day.
