Recruitment and Retention: Understanding Poll Workers’ Motivations and Beliefs

Who volunteers to be a poll worker? How do poll workers think about their role? And how might recruiting trusted groups—like veterans and military families—improve trust in elections? During the webinar, Professors Anita Manion, David Kimball, Matt Lamb, and Michael Hanmer explored these questions and more as they discussed their recent work into the motivations and beliefs of poll workers.

This webinar is part of the Books and Ballots series, a partnership with The Elections Group and Arizona State University’s Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory.
