Poll workers wanted: Philly hoping to hire 250 more before 2026 primary election

The city of Philadelphia is launching a new campaign aimed at recruiting key people needed for free and fair elections.

On Tuesday, Feb. 3, city commissioners kicked off a month-long push to recruit 250 new poll workers to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The goal is to have the poll workers in place for the 2026 primary election in May.
