Adams opens poll worker volunteer portal By Miranda Combs Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams has unveiled an easy way for Kentucky voters to register as poll workers for November's general election. The Poll Worker Volunteer Portal is now available at sos.ky.gov. The portal passes an application on to the volunteer's county clerk, who then will contact the volunteer. The number of poll workers in Kentucky is at a critical low. The availability of poll workers will dictate how many polling locations are available on election day. If a county doesn't have enough poll workers, it limits the county clerk's ability to offer in-person voting.
