Be a Poll Worker

Wisconsin needs people like you to serve as paid poll workers for the 2024 elections. If you're looking for a way to make an impact in 2024, becoming a poll worker is one of the most vital roles you can play. Being a poll worker means helping people vote safely and ensuring as many people as possible can cast their ballot.  Poll workers are important because they: Create an accessible and inclusive environment where voters feel empowered and safe throughout the voting process.  Serve their community. More poll workers mean more polling places. This keeps lines short and efficient for their neighbors.  Play a vital role in upholding our democratic processes. And, they get hands-on insight into our safe, fair and free elections. How do I sign up? Visit powerthepolls.org/lwvwi and enter your information so your local clerk knows that you are interested in becoming a poll worker.

SIGN UP

What will I do? Poll workers check in voters, help people register to vote, check photo IDs, and process absentee ballots. Your local clerk will provide you with training before Election Day.  You can help make our elections safer for all and ensure everyone has fair access to the ballot!

Show your support for public transit

 

One of the city's climate action goals is moving more people from cars to public transit. How can we get there?

Are you "climate aware," understanding it's not something to put off to the future, but rather, something to concentrate on right now? Use this opportunity to show your support for our current public transit system and to tell MTU staff what would encourage you to ride the bus more. 

Are you currently a transit rider? Take this opportunity to show appreciation and tell MTU staff what you like best about transit. 

Don't just think, "Oh, yeah, I support transit," and stay home. Come on down for a few minutes to demonstrate your support to MTU staff and to our elected leaders whose actions could beef up our transit system so more people could use it.
