2023 - Winner for Best Practices in Recruiting, Retaining, and Training Poll Workers

The Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Office developed VoteHillsborough Training Labs, an immersive experience for poll workers that has vastly improved training on election technology while increasing worker confidence. This training experience not only equips poll workers with essential skills but also provides elections staff an opportunity to monitor and evaluate poll worker performance and engagement in real-time. Moreover, the in-person labs enable elections staff to accurately identify individuals requiring additional training support and those demonstrating a firm grasp of the technology, positioning them as prime candidates for leadership roles in forthcoming elections.
