Election Worker General Information
Voter Registration & Elections are looking for dedicated men and women to serve as Election Officials on Election Day. We invite you to help your family, friends and neighbors and serve our City by joining this team of Election Officials. It is an enjoyable and rewarding way to be part of our democratic process.
A number of Election Officials are appointed for each of the city's 100 voting precincts, with one designated as Chief Officer and Assistant Chief Officer. Election Officials are given a great deal of responsibility and trust in the election process. Officials work together to produce accurate election results, provide for equal access to voting and the necessary assistance to individual voters who need their help.
The polls open on Election Day at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. Whenever possible, you will be placed in your "home" precinct. However, if there are no vacancies, you will be placed at a nearby precinct not more than 10 miles from your registered address. There is a possibility that we might ask you to change polling locations prior to Election Day in order to meet staffing requirements.
