Quarles challenges FFA members to serve as poll workers By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles is asking members and alumni of Kentucky's youth agriculture organizations to fulfill Secretary of State Michael Adams' call to recruit poll workers for the November 2020 election. "Kentucky FFA has a long tradition of civic engagement," Commissioner Quarles said. "As Secretary Adams has made clear, we need young people to serve as poll workers so that we can put on a fair and safe election this fall. I am asking eligible members - and young alumni - of Kentucky FFA to respond to Secretary Adams' call to serve." A precinct election officer works the polls all day on Election Day to ensure voting is conducted fairly and orderly. Each precinct is required to have four precinct election officers serve on the day of the election. In order to become an election officer, an individual must be a qualified, registered voter. Individuals who will be 18 years old on or before November 3, 2020 are eligible to serve as officers. Other qualifications can be found online by visiting the State Board of Elections webpage at elect.ky.gov. "I thank Commissioner Quarles and Kentucky FFA for joining my effort to recruit poll workers for the November election," Secretary Adams said. "We cannot have a robust number of in-person voting locations without poll workers to run them. We particularly need young people, as most poll workers who volunteered in the past are elderly and thus deemed uniquely at risk from coronavirus. Please visit govoteky.com to sign up." "Although FFA is a non-political organization, we do encourage our members to be educated about issues that affect them and their families and to take part in the political process as individuals who will be personally affected by governmental decisions," FFA President Malory White said. "In order for our organization to reach its goal of ensuring members achieve personal growth, we must encourage them to take part in activities that will help them to shape their values and define their goals. Serving as a poll worker would be a great opportunity for our members to apply what they have learned in FFA in serving their local communities." This story was posted on 2020-09-30 18:24:14
