DEFEND DEMOCRACY IN SARASOTA COUNTY - BECOME A POLL WORKER!
Poll workers are essential to safe, free, and fair elections.
According to the Sarasota County Supervisor of Election’s website, “Poll workers are critical to the success of every election. These nonpartisan workers help in many ways, including processing vote-by-mail ballots, managing in-person early voting and working election day polling locations.”
Since 2020, the League of Women Voters has partnered with Power the Polls encouraging our supporters to become poll workers.
Many of our chapter members have “worked the polls”. Their experiences have been positive and rewarding.
“It’s enlightening and personally rewarding, experiencing first-hand, the security of our elections and the dedication of my co-workers to ensuring that all eligible voters get a fair opportunity to cast their ballots.”
Tracy (poll worker since 2018)
“I became a US citizen in 2023 and for the first time entered American political life as a poll worker. The experience confirmed for me the vital importance of a free and fair voting system. My role also left me with faith in the security and unbiased management of the elections. Making a small contribution to the American democratic process was both exhilarating and educational.”
Brenda (poll worker since 2024)
“I encourage League members to become poll workers. It's a great hands-on way to serve our community and defend our democracy!
Ann (poll worker since 2008)
