Poll workers filled the auditorium of Joseph Jenks Junior High School Wednesday for training on how to run the polls on this upcoming election day.

Ken McGill, Registrar of voters for the city of Pawtucket opened the class.

Marc Rapoza, of Westerly, on behalf of Elections Systems and Software, part of a team that will train more than 4,000 poll workers in Rhode Island for Tuesday's election, led workers through what the day will look like and answered questions.
