Prince William County seeks more volunteers to work the polls on November 3, 2020, for the Presidential General Election.
From Prince William County:
As we prepare for the November election, Prince William County needs 1,600 residents to work at 93 polling locations on Election Day—November 3. Poll workers are an essential part of the election process.
Residents who serve as poll workers must be registered to vote in Virginia, receive training, and are compensated for their time.
On Election Day, poll workers:
- Arrive at the polling location by 5 a.m.
- Set up voting equipment and prepare the location for voting.
- Are assigned to work curbside or indoors.
- Look up voters by checking their names in the Electronic Poll book.
- Admit voters to voting machines.
- Tally votes.
- Secure voting machines and Electronic Poll books.
- Close the polling location at 7 p.m.
The Prince William County Office of Elections asks all registered voters to consider serving as poll workers because this is a critical role. Visit the Prince William County of Elections website, and look for the “Become an Election Officer” page under “Elections and Registration” to learn more, and complete the online application. The application deadline is October 2.
In the two weeks leading up to the election, the county announced it will open eight satellite voting centers where residents may cast an in-person absentee ballot.

To celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week (May 6-10, 2024), Clean Air Partners is working with A Few Cool Hardware Stores to exchange DC, Maryland and Virginia residents’ gas-powered lawnmowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers at select Ace Hardware locations in the region. DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
Compared to gas, electric lawn equipment can reduce emissions, noise pollution, health risks and maintenance costs and time. The program aims to remove about a hundred gas-powered polluting tools from yards in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.
The exchanges will take place the weekends of May 17-19, 2024, and May 31-June 2, 2024, at A Few Cool Hardware Stores network of employee-owned Ace Hardware stores in the DC and Baltimore metro areas.
