Election Official (formerly Poll Worker) Recruitment
Elections are coming to a poll site near you! Everyone will be there including friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. All standing in line to exercise their right to vote!
Have you ever considered taking a day of vacation and working at a poll site? Check with your employer first; however, many employers will allow you to take a day of paid vacation from your regular job to work a poll site on Election Day. This is a great way to earn a little extra spending cash for your Christmas List or your Rainy Day Fund.
Election workers are appointed for two year terms and typically work 2 to 4 elections per year. We will check your availability before we schedule you to work.
Typical duties of an election worker include: issuing ballots to registered voters, registering new voters, monitoring voting equipment, processing absentee ballots or tallying votes.
Municipal clerks are required by law to provide training to election workers. This training provides all the necessary information and knowledge to be a successful election worker.
