From We’re Watching Wisconsin:

WISCONSIN NEEDS YOU TO VOLUNTEER TO BE A POLL WORKER NOW!!!

Want to be sure that Wisconsin elections are conducted in a fair, uniform transparent manner according to
Wisconsin laws and the New Photo ID ACT?

Volunteer NOW to become a poll worker. Poll workers are election officials. Poll workers are hired by their

municipality, trained by their local elections clerk, and are paid to perform this civic duty.

The deadline for volunteering to be a poll worker through your County Party Chairman is NOW. To be considered a “first-
choice nominee” your name must be submitted to your municipality by your County Party BY November 30th. Poll workers
chosen will be assigned to conduct elections in 2012-2013—Recalls, Presidential, State and local elections.

If you wish to volunteer as an “independent” you can do that at your municipal clerk’s office prior to November 30th, but
you will not be considered a “first choice nominee.”

Poll workers do it all:
• Poll workers are assigned as Special Voting Deputies to conduct elections in nursing homes and other residential
facilities where the residents cannot get to the polls, so the polls are brought to them. This is a separate poll
worker position and there is a separate list for these volunteers.
• Poll workers can be assigned to conduct absentee voting in the clerk’s office prior to Election Day.
• Poll workers conduct the elections at their polls on Election Day
• Poll workers are assigned to register voters on Election Day—Same-day voter registration.
• Poll workers count absentee ballots and make decisions about those ballots regarding “voter intent”.
• Poll workers count ballots and verify election results after the polls close.

At the registration table, poll workers will be required to verify the citizen’s 28-day residency requirement along with their
proof of residency. Poll workers will be verifying the citizen’s PHOTO ID before they receive a ballot. Poll workers will make
sure the voter signs the poll book before a ballot is given to them. Poll workers help to count the ballots after the polls
close. Help protect the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections!

Elections are “The People’s” process and “The People” play a central role in them by volunteering as poll workers!

Become one of “The People” that makes this all happen.

Become a poll worker–Your Municipality, Your State, Your Country Needs You
