Poll Workers 

The Baldwin County Democrats encourage Democrats to serve as paid poll workers in the 2026 Primary and General Elections.

Baldwin County has 63 precincts, and our goal is to have at least one Democratic poll worker at each location. Poll workers help check in voters, issue ballots, and ensure elections are conducted fairly and transparently.

 

Poll workers are compensated and receive required training through the Baldwin County Board of Registrars and the Probate Judge’s Office.

Step 1:

Apply to be a Poll Worker by filling out the Official State Application

County Elections

County elections in Baldwin County give you a direct voice in how our community is run. These races decide who manages the county budget, law enforcement, public services, and the schools that serve our neighborhoods. You do not need to wait for state or federal change to make an impact. Learn about the offices that serve you locally, such as sheriff, county commissioner, revenue commissioner, and school board members.

State Elections

State elections shape the laws, funding, and policies that impact every community in Alabama. These races determine decisions on public education, healthcare access, infrastructure, environmental protections, and voting rights. State leaders have the power to either strengthen or restrict the opportunities available to our families and neighbors. Learn about the state offices that represent Baldwin County, such as state representative, state senator, governor, attorney general, and other statewide positions.

Federal Elections

Federal elections determine how our nation’s laws, budgets, and priorities are set on a national level. These races influence decisions on civil rights, healthcare, reproductive freedom, economic policy, national security, and the protection of democratic institutions. While federal offices may feel distant, the policies they shape have real consequences for families and communities in Baldwin County. You do not need to start locally to make a difference. Learn about federal offices that represent Alabama, such as U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and President.

Interested In Running?

Time is moving fast, but there is still room to make a difference.
