July 31, 2024 - Philadelphia, PA
In honor of National Poll Worker Recruitment Day tomorrow, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt today encouraged eligible Pennsylvanians to sign up to serve as poll workers for the Nov. 5 election. "As someone who has worked in elections for many years, I can tell you that serving as a poll worker is one of the most rewarding acts of civic engagement you can perform," Schmidt said. "Elections are the most fundamental part of our representative democracy, and they couldn't happen here in Pennsylvania if it wasn't for the work of the roughly 45,000 poll workers who staff more than 9,000 voting locations across the Commonwealth each Election Day." The Shapiro Administration is committed to ensuring free, fair, safe, and secure elections in Pennsylvania. That commitment includes protecting Pennsylvanians' right to vote, improving the efficiency and transparency of our elections, and ensuring every eligible ballot can be counted. Poll workers play a vital role in helping achieve all those priorities.List of Speakers:Al Schmidt, Secretary of the CommonwealthSeth Bluestein, Philadelphia City CommissionerShanna Fields, Election Board Supervisor
