The resolution commends the students of Hokes Bluff High School for their dedicated service as poll workers during the 2024 election. These students covered 11 polling locations across the county, including both nearby sites and those requiring significant travel. Their responsibilities included checking in voters, validating identification, and managing ballots, with many students working the full 12-hour shift and later attending the courthouse to witness the election results. The training for these roles was organized by Judge of Probate Scott Hassell, who equipped the students with the necessary skills to operate voting machines and understand election procedures.
The resolution highlights the positive impact of this experience on the students, fostering a sense of community engagement and interest in political involvement. Many students expressed enjoyment in participating and are motivated to pursue future opportunities in politics, with some returning to volunteer after graduation. The House of Representatives of Alabama officially recognizes and honors the contributions of these students, wishing them continued success in their future endeavors.
