Election Hero Day (EHD) is just a week away, on November 3, 2025. In anticipation, we're highlighting a few of our favorite poll worker stories from the 2024 North Dakota elections 

We decided to zoom in on the experiences of one of our volunteers, Cori Edgerton. Cori is a voter engagement volunteer for the League of Women Voters of the Red River Valley (North Dakota). A local university library technician, she hosted her League's first-ever National Voter Registration Day event, leads its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) book club, creates its bimonthly newsletter, participates in its election observation program, and assists with voter outreach. She also supports data collection for North Dakota’s VOTE411 voter guide.

Read on for more about her volunteer advice, thoughts about the connection between Leagues and libraries, and DEI book suggestions!
