Minimum Age: 16-year-old high school students.
You must complete training to be a poll worker.
Training Details: In-person training typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. Training is required prior to each election served. Additional training sessions are held on an as-needed basis as determined by election officials. Chief election inspectors are required to take 6 hours of training every 2 years.
In most cases, poll workers must be qualified electors of the county in which they serve (i.e., adult U.S. citizens who reside in the county and are not otherwise disqualified to vote).
16 and 17-year-old student poll workers can only work at the polling place serving their residence.
