We are fervently working on spreading our reach to more counties across Texas. Until then, every county has a website dedicated to poll worker recruitment, and you can reach out directly to the county elections office to which you are registered to vote!


If you are between the ages of 16 or 17 years old, you can volunteer to be a student election clerk with the written permission of your legal guardian.

No.  You only need to re-register to vote if you've moved, if you've changed your name, if you'd like to switch political parties, or if you haven't voted in the past four years.


In Texas, the deadline for registering or updating your information is 30 days before Election Day in order for it to be effective by that election.
