The Unsung Heroes of Election Day: Poll Workers and Volunteers Make It Happen

But let’s give credit where credit is really due. Behind every voter, there’s a small army of people who make election day possible. Take Williams County, for example. They had 62 dedicated poll workers, plus seven election workers prepping in the days leading up to the big day. And get this: there were even 19 student and teacher volunteers pitching in at the polls! Paid or not, these folks gave up their time to ensure that our election process ran smoothly. To each of them, we say a big, hearty thank you!

These are the unsung heroes of democracy, the people who helped ensure our voices were heard. So, here’s to the people who kept things moving at the polls, and here’s to every North Dakotan who took the time to cast their vote. It’s moments like these that remind us just how much we can accomplish together, one vote at a time.
