Placer County Needs Poll Worker Volunteers for the November 8th Election!

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE!  Serve as a Placer County Poll Worker for the November 8, 2022, Election.  Placer County is urgently looking for patriotic volunteers to serve as poll workers on Election Day.  Working alongside their precinct board, and supported by the Elections Office staff, poll workers play an essential role by making sure that Placer County’s elections are secure and conducted in strict accordance with state and federal voting laws. Volunteers learn about the election process and serve their community by protecting voter rights, securing our systems, serving voters with respect, and assisting all voters with casting their vote.

Poll workers are eligible to receive a stipend that can range from $100-$145, depending on the position. Paid training is also provided.

Volunteering can also be a great fundraising opportunity for your service club, school booster club or church group. Groups may earn up to $900 by attending training classes and staffing an entire precinct board on Election Day!

Volunteers must be able to work from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8. For more information and to apply, visit www.placercountyelections.gov/serve-as-a-poll-worker-in-placer-county.
