AUSTIN (News Release) — Texas Secretary of State John Scott encouraged Texans to learn how to get involved in their local elections by learning how to become election workers, poll watchers, student voting clerks and volunteer deputy registrars through the Texas Secretary of State's online training resources available at www.votetexas.gov.

"Having a safe and secure election starts with well-trained and dedicated election workers at the local level, and we want to make sure all Texans who want to get involved have the resources and information they need to support county officials who are working around the clock to prepare for the upcoming election cycle," Secretary Scott said.
