You showed up. Now you need to know where to go, who you're working with, and how to reach your county if something comes up. Pollware puts everything an election worker needs in one app — your assignments, your team's messages, and your contact info, all secured behind a biometric sign-in. WHAT YOU GET • Your assignments at a glance — see your active and upcoming election-day shifts the moment you open the app. • Messages from your county — group threads with your precinct team and direct chats with your county. Receive push notifications the moment something changes. • Your profile, your control — keep your phone number, address, and contact info up to date so your county can reach you. • Sign in with Face ID or fingerprint — your data stays protected even if you hand the phone to someone else. PRIVACY FIRST Pollware does not request access to your camera, location, contacts, or photos. Biometric data never leaves your phone. Push notification tokens are used only to deliver messages and assignment updates from your county. Pollware is part of the VoteOne platform. Your county administrator uses the Pollware web admin to manage elections and assign workers. You use this app to do the work. Questions? Email support@voteone.app
