Democracy Doesn't Run Itself: Martinsville Thanks Poll Workers Who Kept Election Day Moving

While voters cast their ballots in today's primary elections, a dedicated team of Officers of Elections worked behind the scenes to ensure the voting process ran smoothly from opening until the final ballot was cast.

The City of Martinsville recognized the poll workers who staffed precincts throughout Election Day, helping voters check in, answer questions, process ballots, and maintain the integrity of the election.

Election officials are also encouraging residents who would like to play a role in future elections to consider becoming an Officer of Elections.

Serving as a poll worker gives community members the opportunity to support one of the nation's most important civic responsibilities while helping ensure fair, secure, and efficient elections.

Those interested in serving in future elections can learn more and apply by visiting the City of Martinsville's Work the Polls webpage.

Whether it was a first-time voter or someone casting a ballot for decades, today's election relied on the dedication of local poll workers who helped keep democracy moving one voter at a time.
