Thank Election Heroes Day
Voting in elections is how we, the people, have a say in the decisions that impact our lives — from the jobs in our communities to the healthcare we have access to. Election workers are essential workers that support our communities, just like nurses, grocery store workers, letter carriers, and firefighters.
Our democracy depends on them. Throughout the deadly pandemic, election workers have sacrificed their own health and safety so that we are able to cast our votes safely, and they work overtime to ensure that every vote is counted accurately.
