ACI's Nybil Ghanem shares his experience as a Poll Worker
"I cannot wait to do it again! It teaches oneself how to be a more knowledgeable U.S. citizen, as well as a great advocate!" - Nybil Ghanem
On June 4th, Primary Election Day, our very own Nybil Ghanem had his first experience as a District Board Official, more commonly known as a Poll Worker. Nybil received his certification through the Board of Elections by taking a class where he learned how to set up voting machines and fill out the voting books.
During his experience, he got to meet some of the candidates who were running and saw first hand who really cares about the issues related to someone with a disability. Nybil recommends that everyone should get to know their local municipal clerk's office and local party chairs as a way to be properly informed of what exactly they represent.Voters with Disabilities
