To become a poll worker, you must apply with your local Supervisor of Elections. We included links to all 67 county SOEs if you scroll down on this blog post. Click on the link for your county to get more information.
Poll workers are paid for their time and are expected to work a 14-hour day on Election Day. Compensation is based on the position worked, and it includes payment for training. A check is typically mailed to you after Election Day.
Election poll workers must:
→ Be a pre-registered or registered voter in the county in which they’re applying to work in
→ Attend a scheduled election poll worker training class prior to each election
→ Remain nonpartisan in what is said and worn on Election Day
There are several positions your county Supervisor of Elections might be hiring for, including clerk, assistant clerk, book inspector, ballot box inspector and deputy. Your SOE will have more information on their website.
You can't work as an election poll worker if you are a candidate for office, a candidate's treasurer, an immediate family member of a candidate or if you are serving in a leadership position with a local political party.
