On Oct. 3, more than 20 UConn students became certified Election Moderators for the State of Connecticut!

As part of the UConn Hartford NextGen Elections Program, participants completed 10 hours of training through a combination of asynchronous and in-person sessions, including training with the Connecticut Secretary of the State. Following training, students will be connected with local election officials and assigned to polling locations, where they will work for at least two days during the 2026 election period. Connecticut’s 2026 general election early voting period is Oct. 19 through Nov. 1, with Election Day on Nov. 3.

The program, spearheaded by the UConn School of Social Work’s Nancy A. Humphreys Institute for Political Social Work and funded through a grant from Campus Compact, provided participants with a $125 program stipend and compensation for their election work at the rate established by their assigned election office.

“It’s important to get younger people interested and involved in the political process, and becoming a poll worker embeds them in elections in their own communities,” says Shannon Lane, director of the Humphreys Institute and professor-in-residence. “Being a poll worker is a very tangible form of civic engagement.”
