A poll worker is a person who assists the Board of Elections at the Polling Place on Election Day, by giving Registered Voters their Ballot to exercise their right to vote. Each Precinct must have two Democratic and two Republican Pollworkers. A person not affiliated with any political party may serve in either a Democratic or a Republican Pollworker position.

If you are interested in being a Poll Worker, please call the Board of Elections to set up a time to sign up.  You must come into our office and sign up for payroll.   You will need to bring your social security card and your drivers license or Ohio identification card.
