Forsyth County Voter Registrations & Elections is seeking civic-minded citizens from all backgrounds (age 16+) to serve as poll workers for upcoming elections in 2023, 2024 and beyond. The department is hosting a number of Poll Worker Preview Sessions during which interested residents can learn more about this important and rewarding opportunity.

“Poll workers are the foundation of the election process,” said Voter Registrations & Elections Director Mandi Smith. “People may not realize that it takes 650-plus poll workers to make an election cycle happen. We simply couldn’t do it without them, and we look forward to meeting with residents who are interested in finding out more about potentially serving as a poll worker.”
