Election Day Poll Worker Training

Instructional Trainings

All election day poll workers are required to attend training. There are two options: virtual training and in-person training. The virtual training will be held on Feb. 23, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. 

There are two different class focuses: Chief Judge/Judge and EDS. Class registration is not necessary. Please arrive on time for your class, according to your assigned position. ID training will be covered in general at these sessions.

Assistants: If you have assistants who will conduct check-ins or other high-level functions, please share the specific Assistant Training sessions with them and encourage them to attend. There will be a discussion about the new photo ID check-in process. They do not come to the Instructional Meeting.

Please note: training classes are in addition to the mandatory Instructional Meeting conducted by Charlie Collicutt. The training sessions listed are not a substitute for the required Instructional Meeting attendance.
