I've signed up to be a poll worker on Election Day.

It is my first time. It should be interesting.

I'm under 50, very healthy and have been recently tested negative for cover 19.

1. Good for you.

2. Good for you. I wanted to but all my friends told me I would be crazy to do so.

I’m an old broad with a couple of conditions that make me high risk.
I’m still uneasy about not doing my civic duty but was held back by my posse. Glad there are people coming to take up the slack.

3. I have met a lot of people who are doing it this year.

There are a lot of young people. Many people are doing it for the first time.

4. Excellent!

[Skittles]

6. LOVE that young folk are doing this

they really need to get involved, we need them!

[IrishEyes]

7. They seem very excited about it.

Some of them didn't even realize that it is paid. They were just excited to volunteer. Some of them talked about letting their friends know.

5. I did it when I was in college

and it was a great experience. It was during Reagun's successful ( ) trickle down economy and there were NO jobs anywhere. It makes me wonder if alI Americans should be required to do this like they do with high school students as a graduation requirement. Can colleges require students to do this if they are healthy? It is a good civics lesson.

14. I wish that I had done it in college. I would have tried to keep doing it each election.

I don't know why I never thought about doing it before. I will probably keep doing it in the future. I usually take Election Day off from work anyway during the presidential and midterm elections. I usually have vacation days left by November that I have to use or lose by the end of the year.

8. Good for you!

I'd sign up if I didn't have to show up until at least 10am.

I am the original Sleep Til Noon gal, and being at a polling place before the crack of dawn simply won't work for me.

12. check with your board of elections....some locations have shifts

unfortunately not where I am. Here it is a 14 hour day.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. The last time I looked into it here they didn't have shifts.

Too bad.

[IrishEyes]

15. I naturally wake up at 5:00am every morning anyway.

I don't know why but I always have even if I stay up late the night before. The polling place is two blocks from my apartment.

9. Thank you!

10. I've done this.

It's an endurance test - very long day. It's good to see community members showing up though. I assume that medical safety measures will be in place and that it will be a positive experience for you.

11. I signed up, too! First timer as well.
