Power the Polls: Poll Worker Recruitment Day – Aug 12
Posted by Power the Polls on July 8, 2025
Power the Polls is a first-of-its-kind, nonpartisan initiative to recruit the next generation of poll workers to ensure safe and fair elections for all voters — and the national leader in poll worker recruitment.
When polling places close, it becomes more difficult for voters to access the ballot box. That’s why Power the Polls is working to recruit a new generation of poll workers excited to serve their communities, help their neighbors vote, and ensure safe access to the ballot box for years to come. Over one million people have signed up with Power the Polls since 2020.
Power the Polls was launched in June 2020 by a coalition of businesses and nonprofits, including Civic Alliance, Civic Responsibility Project, Comedy Central, Fair Elections Center, Pizza to the Polls, MTV Entertainment Group, and Center for Secure & Modern Elections. Power the Polls relies on objective data about poll worker requirements and applications collected from over 5,000 jurisdictions assembled by the non-partisan Fair Elections Center.
HELP STAFF YOUR LOCAL POLLING PLACE: Our elections depend on ordinary people who make sure voting runs smoothly and everyone’s vote is counted—people like you.
You can make sure we have safe, fair, efficient elections for all: step up and become a poll worker for the next election in your community today.
