WHAT IS AN ELECTION WORKER?

Election Workers work at the polls on Election Day and during early voting to ensure voters are able to exercise their rights in an honest and well-organized manner.

WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE WORK AS ELECTION WORKERS?

Just about everyone! We have senior citizens, baby-boomers, professionals, self-employed individuals and those that are retired. This creates a highly diverse workforce. We are also looking for workers who, in addition to being fluent in English, can also speak other languages, especially Spanish. If you are fluent in another language, please indicate this on your application form.
