Princeton University is renaming a university building in honor of Laura Wooten, the longest-serving election poll worker in the U.S. Wooten volunteered at local, primary, and general election polls in New Jersey for 79 years.
Laura Wooten
Wooten – who died in March 2019 at the age of 98 – was a longtime Princeton, New Jersey, resident and worked in Princeton’s Campus Dining for more than 27 years.
The building in question is Marx Hall, which will become Laura Wooten Hall, effective July 1. The building houses the University Center for Human Values, academic offices, a department library, and teaching spaces.
