When We All Vote

John,

I’m Tyler, a When We All Vote volunteer from Connecticut. This summer, I signed up, got trained, and got paid to be a poll worker during the Connecticut primary with my best friend, Brittny.

As a woman of color, I think it’s really important that the poll workers at my polling location reflect my community. If you can, I would love for you to encourage more young people to get trained to be poll workers this fall, too.

I want to share my story with you because we have a problem: just 62 days out from Election Day in November, we’re facing a national shortage of poll workers. Without enough poll workers, we could see polling places close or long lines on Election Day.

Today is National Poll Worker Recruitment Day. Will you sign up to become a poll worker and help ensure safe and fair elections in your community (and get paid to do it in some states) this fall?

Once you’ve signed up, depending on your jurisdiction, you will either be contacted by Power the Polls, a partner organization, or your local election administrators regarding your application.

Before Election Day, you get trained to set up voting stations, help voters check-in or update their voter registration information, help elderly or disabled citizens vote, pass out “I Voted” stickers, and break down polling places at the end of the day -- all important tasks that will help to ensure every voter’s voice is heard and their ballot counted.

As a poll worker on Election Day, you’re in for a long day. You have to be alert, but you feel accomplished after because you were a part of democracy. It really helped to have my best friend Brittny there with me.

You can help make sure we have safe, fair, and accessible elections, and potentially get paid to do it. Forward this email to your best friend and sign up to be poll workers together.

I’m so glad I decided to be a poll worker. I hope you’ll consider doing it too.

Let’s do this,

Tyler
