If you plan on being a poll worker for this cycle, reach out ASAP! I just applied for Los Angeles --

the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, West Hollywood, and they’re already full! I know this is a blue bastion, but I’m hoping this bodes well for interest and turnout across the nation .

Super rural township. 5-1 Republican. Fun fact - all of our poll workers are Dems! Always a long day, but wouldn't miss it! (Have lurked for 20 years! My first post!)

Have done it for several election cycles. We get an online Zoom training on election law and regulations. I enjoy it although I am not usually there the entire 14 hours. Polls are open from 7am-8pm and then if you stay for the closing, counting and verification procedures, it’s a long day.

Nov 2, 3, 4 9 am-8 pm, and Nov 5 6 am-8 pm. Apparently there are already more than enough people here willing and able to take on that commitment.
