The Cobb County Board of Elections is seeking to hire people to work at voting precincts next year.
A Cobb poll worker must be a U.S. citizen and a Cobb resident who is at least 16 years old, able to read, write and speak English, does not have any felony conviction in the past 10 years and can provide their own transportation.
Poll workers also must attend at least one mandatory training class before working at the poll.
New workers are paid $110 for Election Day, $20 to $30 for each training class and $15 for helping to set up the poll.
Workers must arrive at 6 a.m. on an Election Day and stay until all voters leave and closing procedures are completed. Next year’s election dates include March 1, May 24 and Nov. 8 with possible runoff dates of March 29, July 26 and Dec. 6.
Those who would like to add their names to the list of potential poll workers or want more information can download a brochure and an application at cobbelections.org/pdf/PollWorkerBrochure.pdf.
