Alabama Secretary of State encouraging volunteers for polls at general election

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen is encouraging volunteers to work the polls at the upcoming general election on Nov. 5. 

“Poll workers are essential members of the election administration team," Allen. "They work hard from sun up to sun down on Election Day ensuring our elections run smoothly and efficiently."

"Serving as a poll worker is a great way to get involved in the elections process, and I would encourage any eligible Alabama voter interested in participating to reach out to my Office or their local probate judge to learn more."

Poll workers are required to be registered voters in their county. They are appointed by a board consisting of their county probate judge, sheriff, and circuit clerk and must attend training administered by their county probate judge before each election.

“As a former probate judge, I know firsthand how vital poll workers are to election administration, and I understand the struggle that can sometimes come with recruiting poll workers,” said Allen.

“As Secretary of State, I will always support our hardworking election officials across the state and work to ensure they have everything they need to administer the most secure elections in the country.”
