Help America Vote Day is a day of action established by the U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission to encourage people across the U.S. to get involved in the electoral 

process by signing up to be a poll worker and an opportunity to share information on 

how to register and cast a ballot. 

By encouraging more people to become poll workers in their communities, Help 

America Vote Day is addressing the critical shortage of poll workers, strengthening our 

republic, inspiring greater civic engagement and volunteerism, and helping to ensure 

election offices have the staff they need throughout 2024. 

Information on ways to register to vote and options to cast a ballot in a voter’s state is 

also critical as the primary season draws near. Help America Vote Day is a great way to 

bring attention to the basic election information for a community so voters are ready to 

cast their ballot.

If you’d like to use Help America Vote Day as an opportunity to direct your community

SAMPLE PRESS RELEASE TEMPLATE

To be distributed ahead of Help America Vote Day

[ELECTION OFFICE] Recognizes Help America Vote Day – 

A Day Of Action Created To Inspire Civic Engagement Throughout 2024 

First recognized by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission in 2022, the event aims to raise awareness 

about the importance of poll workers and inspire more Americans to play a role in the electoral process. 

[City, State] – As the 2024 election season begins, and with the nation facing a continued shortage of 

election workers, the [Election Office] is recognizing Help America Vote Day on January 30, 2024. 

Help America Vote Day aims to address the nationwide shortage of poll workers, inspire greater civic 

engagement and volunteerism, and help ensure safe, secure, accessible, and transparent elections 

in [State/County] in 2024 and beyond. This is also an opportunity to share election and voting 

information from trusted sources like [Election Office] 

“Election workers are an integral part of the election process and is one of the most meaningful ways 

that Americans can do their part to serve their communities,” said [REPRESENTATIVE FROM 

ELECTION OFFICE]. “We are excited to recognize Help America Vote Day to help kick-off the new 

year by bringing awareness to our efforts to recruit election workers to ensure that all voters in [insert 

location] can cast their ballot this election day.” 

While the specific duties and compensation for poll workers vary depending on location, most 

jurisdictions task election workers with setting up and preparing the polling location, welcoming voters, 

verifying voter registrations, and issuing ballots. Poll workers also help ensure voters understand the 

voting process by demonstrating how to use voting equipment and explaining voting procedures. 

Election staff and poll workers are overseen by local election authorities, which also provide training in 

advance of Election Day. 

An aging population of election workers and concerns around health and safety have resulted in 

recurring shortages of poll workers. There are millions of Americans, including many voters with 

disabilities, who intend to cast a ballot during early voting or on Election Day. Having an adequate 

number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day will ensure voters receive the 

assistance they need at the polls, reduce the potential for long lines or congestion and help provide a 

positive and smooth voting experience for all voters.
