Over 150,000 veterans and military family members recruited to staff polling places for Election Day

Veterans and military families are falling in by the thousands to staff polling places across the country, according to a veterans' coalition.

Vet the Vote coalition recently announced that after its recruitment efforts, 163,000 veterans and military families will work on Election Day to help facilitate the vote.

This number far exceeds the 63,500 veterans and military family members who were successfully recruited to work in polling places during the 2022 midterm elections, when the campaign was first launched.
