Become a Poll Worker
You can also register to be a poll worker in your community. You get the opportunity to participate in the election process AND earn some extra money! Your local election officials can teach you everything you need to know to do the job. To be a poll worker, you must be a resident of that county and also must be a registered voter. To sign up as a poll worker, click here:
