High school students can apply to work as poll workers. Students can learn and engage in the election process, leadership, and civic activities through casting ballots. The requirements to be a student election worker in Texas are to be a U.S. citizen, above 16 years old on Election Day, must be enrolled in school, complete any required training program, and have the consent of their parents and principal.

HarrisVotes encourages individuals to contact the major political parties to be nominated to work as a presiding or alternate election judge. These nominations are made in June, so contact the party as soon as possible.
