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

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.

Municipal Elections

Municipal elections give you a direct voice in how your city or town is run. In Alabama, municipal elections are non-partisan, meaning candidates do not run under a political party label. These races decide who manages local services, public safety, city budgets, roads, zoning, parks, utilities, and the everyday decisions that shape 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 mayor, city council members, or town council members.

Districts vs. At-large: Municipal council seats may be elected by district or at-large, depending on how each city is structured. In a district-based council race, voters only vote for the council member who represents the specific district or ward where they live. In an at-large council race, the seat represents the entire city, so all eligible voters in that city may vote for that position.

Interested In Running?

Time is moving fast, but there is still room to make a difference. Every election is a chance to shape Baldwin County’s future, and our ballots need more voices that truly represent the people who live here. You don’t need political experience, big donors, or powerful endorsements. What matters is your passion and your commitment to making our community stronger and fairer for everyone.

Our Commitment: You will not go through this alone. Whether this is your first time running or you are stepping back into public service, we will be with you every step of the way. From the basics to organizing and reaching voters, our team will provide the tools and guidance you need to succeed.

Even if you are just exploring the idea, we are here to help.
