Ohio - Franklin County
Program Title
Champions of Democracy
Program Summary
Franklin County's "Champions of Democracy" program is a campaign to recruit employees from local businesses to serve as poll workers. During this campaign the board of elections;
Dedicates a day to visit the local business to promote the program and recruit poll workers;
Provides all eligible employees an opportunity to register to vote; and
Brings voting machines to run a mock election.
Additionally the county recognized the importance of providing poll workers with the opportunity for a final review of election procedures and materials just prior to them serving on Election Day. As a result they developed "Practice Makes Perfect," an open house review staffed by poll worker trainers, which is held on the weekend (Friday evening through Sunday) preceding every election.
