Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt encourages eligible Pennsylvanians to sign up to serve as poll workers for the April 23 primary election and Nov. 5 general election as part of Help America Vote Day.
"When you have higher turnout you obviously have more voters and the possibility of longer lines and you want to avoid lines as best as you can," Schmidt said.
"It will make you feel good doing your civic duty and helping the community," poll worker Dian Yorty said.
"It's a gift just to be there and take a part in something it needs to be, needs to be done," other poll worker Treva Aldinger said.
Schmidt says each polling location should have five poll workers.
