Sign Up to Be a Poll Worker
Poll workers are essential volunteers each election season. Use the sign up form to the right to indicate your interest in becoming a poll worker in Pennsylvania. Poll workers must be registered to vote in their county or be at least 17 years old (with proper permission).
After you’ve signed up, plan on participating in an information session hosted by the Committee of Seventy. You can find a list of additional resources, as well as a list of their upcoming training sessions on their website.
Please note, Your county will contact you if you are selected to work on Election Day. Note, this placement could come as late as the day before the election.
Sign Up to Be a Poll Monitor
The League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania (LWVPA) works in partnership with Common Cause-PA and Protect the Vote to recruit volunteers to be outside polling locations as Poll Monitors to observe Election Day and electioneering operations and assist voters by answering common questions that arise about voting (e.g. about ID requirements, etc.).
You can sign up to be a Poll Monitor here.
The League will host a Poll Monitor training on Monday, October 21 from 7:00-8:00pm with Common Cause. Once you sign up to be a poll monitor you will get information from Common Cause-PA about this training.
Sign Up to Be a Canvass Monitor
Canvass monitoring is a critical process the evening of and the days immediately following the election. The official canvass of ballots is the process of counting and finalizing results from all ballots, including processing and adjudicating all mail-in, absentee, provisional, overseas, and military ballots. This is done in each county in order to certify the election results. Canvass monitors will have authorization to be official canvass monitors.
The League of Women of Voters of Pennsylvania, in partnership with the ACLU-PA, is looking for volunteers that are able to monitor the canvass — to make sure every eligible vote is counted — in each county or possibly travel to neighboring counties, and are available on Thursday, November 7, Friday, November 8, and Saturday, November 9. Canvass monitoring is an important step during the election process. We hope that you consider lending your time to make sure it's done in a procedurally accurate way.
The League of Women Voters of PA will host a canvass monitoring training session on Thursday, October 24 from 6:30-7:30pm in collaboration with the ACLU-PA. You can register for that training session here.
