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

To increase county employee and student election worker participation, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk developed a series of engaging recruitment videos for both the County Employee and High School Election Worker Programs. These videos highlight the importance of participating in the democratic process, while also giving an overview of the responsibilities and benefits of each program. To help ease anxiety about performing vote center duties, the videos feature testimonials from past election workers who share their experiences and explain how fulfilling it was to serve their community. Furthermore, to streamline the training signup process for election workers, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk also created a step-by-step instructional video to guide election workers through the registration process, making it more accessible and reducing any concerns about the signup procedure. By providing clear and concise instructions, these videos help election workers feel empowered to navigate the process independently, reducing the need for further assistance and ensuring that the registration experience is as smooth as possible.
