With 8 November just around the corner – and early voting already underway – we want to hear from the volunteers who will give up their election day to help America vote.

Are you acting as a poll worker for the US presidential election? Tell us about your experiences, using the form below.

Colorado poll workers are being trained on how to respond to a mass shooting at the voting booths. Republican nominee Donald Trump is encouraging his supporters to monitor polling stations for instances of voter fraud. Have these reports touched your own training, or colored your view of acting as a poll worker?

Is this your first time volunteering, or have you spent more than one election day at a polling place? If you’re a veteran poll worker, has the training you receive changed over time? If you’re a first-time poll worker, what prompted you to get involved?

Share your thoughts about volunteering as a poll worker with us; a selection of your responses will be included in our coverage of election day.
