Georgia counties partner with nonpartisan coalition to recruit poll workers

On National Poll Recruitment Day, U.S. residents nationwide are invited to sign up to help manage polling locations before the November presidential election. It’s an opportunity to usher in a new wave of poll workers and volunteers for the country’s most anticipated election of the year.

Power the Polls is a nonpartisan coalition founded in 2020 working to recruit and fill poll worker needs across the country.

Marta Hanson is the national program manager for Power the Polls. She says the nonprofit’s goal for the upcoming election is to ensure that every single jurisdiction in Georgia will be well-staffed with an overflow of volunteers.
