Why We Need to Recruit More Election Inspectors<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As we know every election is important – – without people working the polls, citizens would not be able to exercise their right to vote.\u00a0 That’s where election inspectors come in. We currently have an Election Inspector shortage and need volunteers.<\/p>\n

Wilton has 23 election districts with over 13,000 registered voters – – 20 polling stations are located at Gavin Park and 3 at the Wilton Senior Center (View Election District Map, Town of Wilton<\/a>). We currently have a shortage of election inspectors and must recruit from other neighboring towns\/cities to help fill vacancies. Each polling station needs two Democrats and two Republican election inspectors.<\/p>\n

Our state legislature has recently passed provisions for early voting. In order for this to work smoothly, we need people to volunteer!<\/p>\n

The pool of election inspectors must be increased so that
\n1) our election inspectors are not called upon for EVERY election and for every day of early voting
\n2) so that shifts can be implemented, thus reducing the time inspectors need to be there for the general election.<\/p>\n

This is where YOU<\/strong> come in!<\/p>\n
