Dear ,

Have you ever thought about becoming a poll worker?

Now is the time to sign up and get involved. America is facing a
critical shortage of these dedicated volunteers in the November
election. Recruiting poll workers is a challenge for many election
officials across the country and the COVID-19 pandemic has made this
need even more critical.

The best way to ensure free, fair, and accessible elections is more
citizen engagement at the polls and in the democratic process. That's
why True the Vote has teamed up with the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission on National Poll Worker Recruitment Day
to raise awareness about the
benefits and importance of poll working and inspire more Americans to
volunteer in the November election.

Why is the need so critical now?

Despite many states expanding access to an unsecure vote-by-mail option,
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.

Most poll workers have traditionally been over the age of 61, making
them especially vulnerable to complications if they contract COVID-19.
This has resulted in a critical need for poll workers who are willing
and able to assist with the administration of in-person voting during an
early voting period and on Election Day.

What does a poll worker do?

While their specific duties and compensation vary depending on location,
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. Election staff and volunteers are
recruited and overseen by the local election authority, which provides
information and training to poll workers in advance of Election Day.

More information about poll working and National Poll Worker Recruitment
Day is available at HelpAmericaVote.gov .

You can also visit TrueTheVote.org for more
resources and training programs to equip citizens to serve as election
workers and to expose and deter election fraud. Check out the Election
Observer Basic Training , Election Integrity

If you are able and willing to serve, please sign up to work the polls
on Election Day and help America
vote.

God bless you. God bless America.

Onward!
