Election Hero Day

The Madison City Clerk’s Office is celebrating National Election Hero Day on November 4.

Election Hero Day is a civic holiday that celebrates the heroic role of poll workers in keeping our elections fair, accessible, and transparent. In the City of Madison, over 3,300 officials will be working at the polls tomorrow.

Madison poll workers complete an hour of training before every election. The Republican Party and Democratic Party appointed some of Madison’s poll workers, and the rest are unaffiliated. They all act in a non-partisan manner at the polls.

Poll workers check voters into the poll book, register voters at the polls, issue ballots, and process absentees. Throughout Election Day, they verify that the number of voters accounted for equals the number of ballots counted.

The City Clerk’s Office would like to sincerely thank all poll workers for their service to the community.

The goal of the City Clerk’s Office and City of Madison poll workers is that each eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.
