 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.

Though the deadline for county political party chairs to submit the list of names of poll workers for the May 2010 Primary has passed, you can still get involved.  There are often vacancies in poll workers due to illness or some other inability to serve and your County Clerk may be looking for alternates to help.  Contact your County Clerk's office and let him or her know that you are interested in being a poll worker.

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.
