Secretary Of State Launches 2026 Poll Worker Recruitment Campaign
Author: MT Secretary Of State
Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen announced a new statewide campaign to recruit poll workers for the 2026 Primary and General Elections, continuing her efforts to support county election offices and strengthen Montana’s election workforce. The campaign builds on the Secretary of State’s online poll worker recruitment tool, which connects interested Montanans directly with their local election administrators.
Secretary Jacobsen’s 2026 initiative again highlights Montana’s partnership with Vet the Vote, a nonpartisan national organization that encourages veterans and military family members to volunteer as poll workers. Through this partnership, the Secretary is asking Montana veterans to continue their tradition of service by helping ensure safe, secure, and efficient elections in communities across the state.
“Poll workers are the backbone of our elections in Montana,” said Secretary Jacobsen. “I’m incredibly grateful for the thousands of Montanans who have stepped up to serve in past elections, and I’m calling on new volunteers, including our veterans and their families, to join them in 2026.”
Secretary Jacobsen urges all eligible Montanans to consider serving, noting that fully staffed polling places help keep lines short, assist voters, and safeguard the accurate, timely reporting of election results.
Montanans interested in serving as poll workers can learn more and sign up through the Secretary of State’s poll worker recruitment tool at https://votemt.gov/poll-worker-application/
