How Poll Worker Assignment Works

Training is required, but completing training does not by itself assign you to work an election. Poll workers must also be associated with a specific polling location and election team.

1. Complete Training

Required training prepares you for your role, the equipment, procedures, documentation, and voter service responsibilities.

2. Judges Are Selected

Election Judges are selected through the political party appointment process and serve as the lead officials for their assigned polling locations.

3. Teams Are Assigned

Judges typically select or coordinate the clerks who will serve with them. Each poll worker must ultimately be associated with a polling location before working the election.

Important: Registering for or completing training does not guarantee a work assignment. Your Judge or Elections Central will provide assignment details when your polling location and team are confirmed.

Pacesetter Payroll Processing

The Elections Department has contracted with Pacesetter Staffing to process poll worker payroll. If you haven’t enrolled, complete their application to avoid delays in payment.
