Idaho veterans meet with election officials to recruit poll workers [View all]

Idaho election officials on Thursday met with active military members, veterans and their families about how to serve as election poll workers.

The poll worker recruitment and kick-off event was held by Vet the Vote, a national campaign seeking to recruit veterans and military family members to become poll workers. The group partnered with Idaho-based veterans organization Mission43 and Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane, according to a news release.

“Idaho’s veterans and military members have shown immense dedication to our nation, and they have the skills to make a significant impact at home as well,” McGrane said in the release. “By serving as poll workers, they can help safeguard the integrity of the voting process.”

Ben Keiser, co-founder and executive chairman of the nonprofit We the Veterans, said in a news release that Vet the Vote was thrilled to work with Mission43, along with McGrane and Ada County Clerk Trent Tripple, “in educating and encouraging veterans to further serve their community and country.”
