2012 Primary Election: Poll Workers Still Needed in Poway

With the June primary election just over two weeks away, the Registrar of Voters is still looking for poll workers in Poway.

The registrar hires workers fluent in many languages, with English and Spanish speakers needed in Poway on June 5. Workers don’t need to live in Poway to work in a Poway precinct, but they must be U.S citizens, registered or eligible to be registered to vote in California, and have transportation to and from their assigned polling location.

Depending on the assignment, poll workers may need to complete online training or attend a two-hour class.

Poll workers start early and end late, but it does come with a $75 to $175 stipend, and bilingual workers may be eligible for an extra $15.

Potential poll workers can apply online, call (858) 565-5800 or email Pollworker@sdcounty.ca.gov.
