Cobb residents who are interested in serving their community and earning a little extra cash can apply to the Cobb County Board of Elections to work at voting precincts during the 2020 elections cycle.
They are seeking applicants who take pride in their work, are patient, take directions well and pay attention to detail, according to a Cobb County statement.
A poll worker must be a U.S. citizen, Cobb County resident, at least 16 years old, able to read, write and speak English and not have any felony conviction in the past 10 years.
Poll workers must attend at least one mandatory training class before working at the poll.
New workers are paid $115 for Election Day, $30 for the training class and $15 for helping to set up the poll.
Workers must arrive at 6 a.m. on Election Day and stay until all voters leave and closing procedures are completed.
Poll workers must provide their own transportation to their scheduled training class and to the poll on Election Day.
To add your name to the list of potential poll workers or for more information about becoming a poll worker, call 770-528-2581 or visit CobbElections.org.
