Compensation for working as an Election Official on Election Day is $240. As a general requirement before working, you will attend and complete a three-hour training workshop designed for Election Officials. Compensation for training is an additional $25. Processing checks take up to six weeks.
Please note that if you attend training but for some reason cannot work on Election Day, you will not be paid for the training session. In addition, you are encouraged to attend an informal meeting, which is scheduled by your Chief Officer, to organize the voting room prior to Election Day.
Updated training materials will be available soon.
If you wish to apply to be an Election Official, please complete the online application. You will receive an email with directions and links to additional forms that must be completed as part of the application process.
On March 1, 2025, returning election officials will be reappointed. We will then begin collecting paperwork from returning election officials as well as any new officials who want to join our team.
If you are already an Election Official and have been issued login credentials, you can access your online account at any time.
