For Valentines Day 2024, Common Cause extended our appreciation for the people who make our Democracy possible, Election workers.

Individuals from all backgrounds and political affiliations serve their communities as election workers. Election workers take their jobs very seriously — often working long hours to make sure our elections are accessible, secure and efficient.

During the 2022 midterm election, more than 645,000 people across the country served their communities as poll workers. Poll workers come from all walks of life and include our neighbors, retirees, parents at our children’s schools, small business owners and other fellow community members.
