Staff the Polls
Poll Worker Resources
The Committee of Seventy has partnered with the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and experienced poll workers to offer information and resources for individuals seeking to staff polling places on Election Day. C70 and the LWVPA also offer supplementary information sessions with a former county election director for anyone looking for a more detailed overview of working the polls.
This information session will build on the required trainings provided by Pennsylvania counties, covering the basics of working the polls in Pennsylvania and giving additional details on important procedures. It is perfect for a first-time poll worker or experienced poll worker who wants to brush up on their knowledge.
