The State’s Governmental Accountability Board’s website lists the qualifications for an election official.
To be an election inspector (poll worker), a person must:

- Be able to speak, read, and write fluently in the English language;
- Have strong clerical skills;
- Be able to solve problems;
- Be an effective communicator; and
- NOT be a candidate for any office to be voted on at the polling place at that election.
Election Officials are paid $11.82 an hour. There are three shifts available:
AM Shift (6 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.)
PM Shift (1 p.m. - Close)
Full Day Shift (6 a.m. to Close)
Training is available at

Additional Election Officials are needed this year because of redistricting and the new photo ID requirements at the polls. Please pass this invitation along to your friends and neighbors. Thank you!
