The Burlington County Board of Elections is putting out the call for residents to be poll workers during the Nov. 5 general election.
By law, poll workers who are 18 or older must be registered to vote in the county and available to work from about 5:15 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Election Day. No experience is needed, but mandatory in-person training is required. Pay is $300 for the day.
Poll-worker duties include unlocking voting machines and equipment, putting out supplies, setting up electronic pollbooks, signing in and processing voters, assistance and closing the polls. Perspective poll workers should be able to read and write legibly.
