Poll Worker Recruitment
|
- Administering an election takes the cooperation of state and county officials, vendors and, most importantly POLL WORKERS. Poll workers are responsible for opening and closing the polling place, checking in voters and helping voters with any issues that come up on election day. Each precinct needs at least 5 individuals to work the entire election day. Poll worker is a paid position and the amount ranges between $100 and $300 depending on the county.
- You can also contact the County Clerk or the county chair of your political party to let them know that you are interested in working for the General Election on November 2, 2010. Political party chairs have until August 24 to nominate workers for the General Election.
- Thank you for your interest in public service. Feel free to contact my office for more information.

Training Materials

- In order to ensure compliance with state and federal election requirements, the Secretary of State's Office provides a number of training opportunities for local election officials. In fact State law requires both county and municipal election officials to attend election training held by our office at least once every other year.
- Any new training or programs that are offered by our office will be placed on this site. This will allow you to have easier access to the documents, manuals and reference guides you will need to adequately train your staff on preparation for voter registration processes and election procedures.
