🇺🇸 Who are Election Heroes & What Do They Do? 🇺🇸

There is a LOT of hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes to make the voting process easy and simple for all eligible voters. Here’s who you can thank!

STATE & TERRITORIAL ELECTION OFFICIALS: Implement election laws and policies, maintain voter registration databases, and work collaboratively with local election officials to ensure a successful voting experience for all eligible voters.

COUNTY/MUNICIPAL ELECTION CLERKS & DIRECTORS: Execute detailed election plans built in partnership with state officials. Lead all of the day-to-day operations of registration and voting for their jurisdictions and recruit poll workers.

ELECTION OFFICE STAFF: Support the work of the election administrator through clerical duties, digital support, and much more. In many cases, this team is quite small, resulting in a heavy and time-sensitive workload for these workers during this critical period.

POLL WORKERS: Provide on-site support to local election staff to administer a smooth voting process on Election Day and siting early voting. They are responsible for everything from checking voters in to making sure voting machines are working correctly. These folks are put on the front lines of elections and will interact with hundreds of voters throughout their work.

💙 Happy Election Hero Day! Thank you to all for your time and support in ensuring a safe and secure voting experience.

🤓 Reminder: Early voting for the November Election starts today and runs through November 1st! You can also vote by absentee mail or on November 3 at your local polling place.

Our Sound Mind team had a blast with the young people!

On October 7, the Wisconsin Civic Power Table, alongside many community partners, hosted its first Youth Civics Summit!

Young people learned about their rights during encounters with law enforcement, expressed themselves through art, and discussed the important issues affecting their communities and why their votes matter this November.

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this incredible event! We can’t wait for the next one!
