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 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! We will hold several Q&A sessions to answer any lingering questions you may have about being a poll worker in Pennsylvania.
E-Book Poll Training: Philadelphia recently implemented using an electronic poll book system to check voters in on election day. Learn more about what to expect with this change as a poll worker in a supplemental session on Philadelphia’s electronic poll books. These E-Poll books will be used in Philadelphia during the April 2024 Primary Election.
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.
