In the state of Texas, students can work elections at the age of 16. That’s even before a student is eligible to register to vote at the age of 17 years and 10 months1
Becoming a poll worker for your local elections department is a great experiential learning opportunity that enables students to play a critical role in the democratic process. Students gain firsthand experience with the operations of setting up and running a vote center during early voting and election day.
You can vote at 18, but you can get involved long before you are able to vote, here’s how.
