Election Hero Day (November 3) is a nonpartisan, national celebration recognizing the work that election officials, their staff, and poll workers make to ensure a safe, secure voting experience for all eligible Americans.
Founded in 2020 to honor election workers as they navigated an unprecedented and challenging election environment and successfully supported voters, the holiday sends a clear message that we support our friends and neighbors who play a vital role in preserving our democracy. They are our election heroes!
In 2025, the League of Women Voters became the managing partner of Election Hero Day. This is a perfect collaboration, as LWV is a nonpartisan voting rights organization dedicated to empowering voters and working with elections officials nationwide to ensure all voters can be heard through the ballot box.
