Elections are the single most important element of the American political system, the process that determines who will lead us. But elections don’t just happen – they require volunteers to ensure fairness and accuracy. Representatives of the Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners lay out the requirements for becoming a poll worker: a judge, voter assistance specialist, deputy commissioner, or greeter/locator.

The KCEB Academy-Public Forum is a series of events running through August intended to educate the public about elections and motivate them to get involved.
