Looking to make an impact on Election Day? There are ways to take action beyond casting your ballot. You can sign up to serve as a paid poll worker, volunteer as an election observer to help stop voter suppression, or remind neighbors to vote and celebrate at a Party at the Polls.

Here’s how you can get involved on Election Day in Wisconsin:

1. Serve as a poll worker

Poll workers are paid and trained local government workers who assist with running local elections. Learn about the requirements, pay, and application information for your area.

2. Volunteer as an election observer

Every eligible Wisconsin voter deserves to cast a ballot without intimidation or obstacles. Help protect that right by observing and documenting the election process as an election observer.

3. Party at the Polls

The Party at the Polls movement aims to transform the voting experience and increase voter turnout through community and celebration. Rallies, gatherings, and walks to the polls are planned across Wisconsin during the state’s early in-person voting period and on Election Day. Find a Party at the Polls event near you.
