Voter Registration & Future Vote

MCPS has continued to have a long-standing relationship with the Montgomery County Board of Elections, collaborating on voter registration drives and supporting the Future Vote program. In 2023, the MCPS Board of Education passed a resolution requiring the school district to promote voter registration and civic engagement education.


Future Vote

Future Vote allows middle and high school students to volunteer at an election site and help make voting smoother for voters. This role is separate from being an election judge (a full election poll worker) because there are restrictions on the equipment that ineligible voters may use. Eligible high school students, however, may work as an election judge.

Student Election Aides

Student Election Aides dispense voting-related literature, staff the checkout counter, indicate restrooms and polling-room exits, help voters in wheelchairs, and set up/clean up the polling site. They must be sensitive and polite with all voters, including those with special needs, and provide information and/or assistance in a second language or American Sign Language if possible. All middle and high school students may serve as Student Election Aides.

Election Worker

Adults and students can earn up to $250 or 25 SSL credits per day if they serve as an election worker. Election workers must be U.S. citizens, registered to vote, live in Maryland, at least 16 years old, and have a valid Maryland Driver’s license, Learner’s Permit, or MVA identification card. To receive payment, students must know the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number.
