The NBA took Election Day off this year to urge Americans to vote, and Vet the Vote is proud to be one of the league’s partners in its 2026 NBA Get In The Game. VOTE. campaign. NBA.com’s coverage highlights our work recruiting veterans and military family members to serve again as poll workers, alongside partners When We All Vote, Civic Nation, and Power The Polls.
“Vet the Vote is proud to have recruited over 176,000 veterans in every state in the union to serve again as poll workers,” said Ellen Gustafson, co-founder and executive director of We the Veterans & Military Families. “These unsung heroes will be in your polling stations and supporting your state’s elections and we encourage all voters to thank them for their service twice this election day!”
