Help Power the Polls this Election

Help Power the Polls this Election

AARP is working to ensure that in-person voting runs smoothly and is accessible and safe option for all voters on Election Day. Yet here is an urgent need for more voters of all ages to sign up to serve as poll workers this election to make this happen.

Poll workers support early voting locations, ensure technology functions, and help minimize long lines and delays at polling places on election day - and poll worker shortages can lead to long lines and voter disenfranchisement, especially in communities of color and low income communities. 

AARP is proud to partner with Power the Polls, a first-of-its-kind nonpartisan initiative to recruit poll workers, again to ensure a safe, fair, efficient election for all voters.

Will you help us address our nation’s critical poll worker shortage? You can help protect the process of our democracy by signing up as a poll worker - and potentially get paid to do it.

Sign up to Power the Polls today at www.powerthepolls.org/AARP

Once you’ve signed up, depending on your jurisdiction, you will either be contacted by Power the Polls, a partner organization, or your local election administrators regarding your application.

The process to become a poll worker can be a bit complicated, but don’t worry: the Power the Polls team will help you along the way. In the coming weeks, Power the Polls will provide you with more information about the application process and what to expect when you become a poll worker.

In the meantime, please encourage your friends and family to join you and help ensure a safe and fair election.
