More than 10,000 poll workers have been recruited to help staff local precincts in Georgia ahead of an expected surge of voters in the Nov. 3 General Election, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office announced this week.

The 10,000 new poll workers account for about half of the 20,000-worker recruitment goal the state has set in recent months to bolster polling places, Raffensperger’s office said Thursday. The new recruits span the state but especially represent population centers like the Atlanta and Savannah metro areas.
