This year, many older volunteers, who make up the bulk of poll workers, are also at higher risk of contracting COVID-19, and stayed home accordingly. Luckily, younger volunteers came out in droves this year to bridge the gap and make sure polling places are adequately staffed ahead of Election Day.

At the link in our bio, Vogue worked with poll-worker recruitment organization @powerthepolls to speak to eight first-time poll workers across America—from Austin to Omaha to Birmingham and beyond—about what motivated them to become poll workers, why their volunteer work matters, and what kind of country they hope to come of age in.

Above: Georgia Hight-Schickel (@ghschickel) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania says, "I knew there were going to be a lot of people who were worried [about voting] due to COVID, and I've seen that when I've gone to vote, it is a lot of older people volunteering as poll workers, so I felt like I needed to do my part as a young person to go and help make the process as efficient as possible. Having more poll workers and more places to vote could mean more people want to actually go vote rather than getting discouraged because they have to go a mile instead of a block. I’m kind of worried, because I probably will be interacting with a lot of people, but I'll double-mask up; I just felt like I really need to do something."
