Content: Poll workers verify voters, hand out ballots, tend the machines and pass out stickers, among other duties. I have worked the polls in my town for 10 years and I have never heard (or said) the words “we have too many poll workers”! Poll worker requirements vary by state. Contact your town Registrar or local election office for more information. ATTEND MEETINGS
The best way to find out what's going on in your town or city is to attend meetings! Usually, upcoming meetings are listed on your town or city's website, on the town hall bulletin board, or posted in the local paper. If you can't attend meetings, minutes can usually be acquired at your Town Clerk's office, and some minutes can even be found online. Please note that if you have a specific question or concern about an issue, a committee or board meeting isn't the proper place to bring it up. A phone call, and email and/or one on one meeting request would be suggested for that. HOLD AN OFFICE OR BE ON A COMMITTEE
Now I'm not suggesting everyone needs to go out and run for mayor- though go right ahead and do so if you feel the calling!
