Fair Elections Center developed WorkElections.com, a website that compiles poll worker requirements and application links for thousands of jurisdictions in states across the country. It provides a central source of simplified information for interested individuals who may not know how or where to apply.

The current pandemic has dramatically reduced the traditional pool of poll workers -- many of whom are older -- and created an urgent need for recruiting a new workforce to ensure adequate staffing at the polls this fall. WorkElections seeks to facilitate poll worker recruitment to ensure that this year's elections go as smoothly as possible.

This easy-to-use web portal addresses a challenge that many local election officials face: recruiting a sufficient number of volunteers, particularly those with in-demand technological and language skills, needed to help voters on Election Day. The website's home page contains a simple search tool that allows visitors to select their state, enter their location, and receive jurisdiction-specific requirements and links to applications.

Data from WorkElections is also used by PowerthePolls.org, a new collaboration between the Fair Elections Center and many other partners in the private and nonprofit sectors. This new initiative will greatly increase the scope of recruitment efforts and help reach hundreds of thousands of potential poll workers.

We hope that you will consider serving your community as a poll worker this fall and that our online resources will make applying easy. A shortage of poll workers could mean closure of polling places and longer lines to vote. Serving as a poll worker is one of the most effective ways you can support our democracy and help ensure that every eligible voter who wants to vote is able to!
