2024 - Honorable Mention for Best Practices in Recruiting, Retaining, and Training Poll Workers

The Muscogee County Elections and Registration Office empowered poll workers to provide innovations in processes and procedures. Successful processes and procedures were approved and implemented by the Muscogee County Elections and Registration Office. Each poll worker received a notice of recognition from the governing body. The poll worker in this case provided feedback on the partitions separating voting equipment at the polling location because the partitions provided by the state were cumbersome and difficult to use and secure. The poll worker drew a new partition with recommendations on improvements. Velcro secures the sides and top of the partition and allows for the posting of mandated notices and instructions. The innovation was implemented countywide, and a local vendor was used to provide the partitions.
