Vet the Vote
Poll Worker Problem
The national shortage of poll workers has reached a critical level – the traditional cohort of poll workers has an average age of 60 and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly suppressed their outstanding volunteerism. America needs to recruit more than 1 million volunteers annually to administer election polling sites, and election boards across the country have struggled to recruit enough poll workers to efficiently and effectively run elections.
Poll Worker Shortage Solution
America’s 17M+ veterans and their family members are ideally positioned to help fill this critical shortage. Vet the Vote’s ever-growing coalition already includes 30+ incredible organizations, including VSOs, MSOs, the National Football League (NFL), and the US Chamber of Commerce.
DVEN Joins the Vet the Vote Coalition
DVEN strongly supports the role veterans can play in helping run safe and secure polling sites and election boards across the United States. Veterans and their families have proven their commitment to serving our country. We encourage all veterans and their family members to visit the Vet the Vote website and consider how you might support this program.
