Yes, absolutely. I volunteered in my town in CT for a number of years. It's kind of a rush, like mainlining Democracy. Fun stuff. And yeah, there are A LOT of rules and you must follow them to the letter.

I would encourage anyone who is questioning the security of our elections to volunteer at their local polls! It’s a bunch of regular people like you and me, working hard to ensure that the vote is conducted according to the rules
