AUSTIN — Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson encourages interested Texans to engage with the election process by signing up to be poll workers.
“Working as an election poll worker is a good way to get involved in your community and support democracy,” Nelson said. “Poll workers are often the face of the voting process and are critical to the success of an election.”
Having enough poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and provide a positive and smooth voting experience for everyone.
“Poll workers play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of our elections,” Nelson said.
“You can help spread the word to your friends and family about how they can support fair and transparent elections,” she added.
The Secretary of State’s office offers an easy Online Poll Worker Training program. To learn more about becoming a poll worker, Texans can reach out to their county election officials and visit Vote-Texas.gov/get-involved for more information.
Poll workers must be U.S. citizens and qualified to vote in the jurisdiction in which the election is being held.
Additionally, Texas students who are at least 16 years of age can volunteer to serve as student election clerks.
