Become a Poll Worker

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.

Poll Worker Information Sessions

Poll Worker 101: 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.

Poll Watcher Information Session: Learn more about what you can (and cannot) do as a poll watcher. In addition to those considering becoming poll watchers, this session is also open to poll workers, so they can learn about the people who might be working alongside them on Election Day. 

Poll Worker Q&A: As a poll worker, you receive comprehensive training to keep the voting process running smoothly and make sure it is easy to vote.  But you may still have questions leading up to Election Day, and that’s okay! This session will answer any lingering questions you may have about being a poll worker in Pennsylvania.

Note: These sessions are not official trainings from a County Board of Elections, and participants are not compensated for their attendance. If you are selected to be a poll worker, you will still need to attend a training from your local Board of Elections.
