Work for Democracy...at the polls
We Need
Poll-Workers!
Each polling precinct is supposed to have 4 "judges" - two Democrats, and two Republicans. One of these four people is the "presiding judge", which means they have additional responsibilities. The presiding judge is chosen by their party; if the precinct voted for the democratic candidate in the most recent governor's race, then that precinct's presiding judge is a democrat, and vice versa.
Ted Strickland's outstanding support in Fairfield County has given the Democratic Party 114 voting precincts, which means we need that many Democrats to act as the Presiding Judge among the poll-workers in those precincts.
The Fairfield County Board of Elections website has more on poll-working.
Working the polls is a great way to meet your neighbors while participating in our democratically-elected government at the most fundamental level.
