Chicago and Cook County Recruiting Poll Workers for Midterms
Original: Chicago, Suburban Cook County Seeking Poll Workers for November Midterm Election
Election officials in Chicago and suburban Cook County are asking residents to sign up as poll workers for the November midterm election. The jurisdictions need staff to run polling places across the city and surrounding suburbs on Election Day. Officials typically recruit additional workers to cover shortages, training requirements, and expanded early voting periods before November.
Why now: Election authorities are actively recruiting before the November midterms, and poll worker shortages are a recurring concern.
