Always do. My wife also made up several fruit/snack baskets for poll workers in Portsmouth, Tiverton and Little Compton.

I was thinking of making a batch of cookies! Was afraid they'd have to turn it down for some convoluted bribery rule that affects goods and services like that lol. It's actually really good to know small gestures like that are acceptable!

Tbh, if I’m working as a poll worker Im not going to eat anything given to me by a random person. But it’s a nice gesture.

My wife is actually a House rep (she won reelection — yay!) and all the poll workers know her. She asked the Board of Elections beforehand if it was OK and they said it’s fine as long as you don’t linger to canvass.
