Poll Workers Needed For May 6th Primary Election

pollworkersneededThe Porter County Voters Registration Office announced today that poll workers are needed to work at precinct polling places throughout Porter County for the May 6th Indiana Primary Election. Poll workers are critical to the honest and fair election process, and it is a great way to fulfill an important civic responsibility AND make a little extra money.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in working on election day as a poll worker, please call 219-465-3594 to be assigned to a Republican position or 219-465-3496 to be assigned to a Democrat position. The pay range for the day is between $110.00-$135.00 plus a $15 meal allowance. All poll workers must attend a training class.

Interested persons can work in their own local precinct if positions are still open, or they can work at any precinct in the County. Applicants MUST be residents of Porter County.

High school students age 16 and over are also welcomed, but will have to obtain an excused absence from their school office. This is an excellent opportunity for our young people to learn more about the election process, and most area schools will work with their students to grant the necessary absence.
