Election Day
Poll workers should be given a paid day off from their regular employment to assist in the completion of one of our basic rights in this democracy-voting on election day!
Why is this important?
Poll workers are one of the most important positions undertaken by citizens across this country during elections. For a number of reasons,a very limited number of individuals are able to take time off from their jobs to undertake these duties. As a result, these positions are severely undermanned on election day. Working the polls is as important as serving on a jury.
