Minimum Age: 16-year-old high school students.
You must complete training to be a poll worker.
Training Details: Poll workers must attend at least one paid training at the beginning of every 2-year election cycle, which typically lasts 3 hours. 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.
Individuals who are comfortable using computers and tablets are strongly encouraged to apply.
