How do I become a poll worker?
One of the many electoral roles that any civic-minded person can take on is a Poll Worker. The County Election Board selects poll Workers in general, will attend 3- 4 hour training before the election, and work on election date at a polling site within the county where they reside.
Poll workers are paid for completing training, and $155 for working 5:30 am - 8:30 pm at the poll on election day.
It is important to note that working as a poll worker will not affect one’s government benefits.
