Hi John,

Wisconsin is in need of people like you to serve as paid poll workers for 2022 elections.

If you're looking for a way to make an impact in 2022, becoming a poll worker is one of the most vital roles you can play. Being a poll worker means helping people vote safely and ensuring as many people as possible can cast their ballot.

How do I sign up?

To sign up, anyone interested should visit the MyVote Wisconsin website. Just type in your information to let your local clerk know that you are interested in becoming a poll worker.

To be a poll worker, you must:

Be a qualified elector of the county in which the municipality is located (i.e., an adult citizen of the United States who has resided in the election district for 28 consecutive days and is not otherwise disqualified to vote)
Be able to read and write fluently in the English language
NOT be a candidate for any office to be voted on at the polling place at that election
Be 18 years old (except high school student poll workers who can be 16 or 17)

What will I do?

Poll workers check-in voters, help people register to vote, check photo IDs, and process absentee ballots. Your local clerk will provide you with training prior to Election Day for the job you will be doing.

What will I receive?

Compensation determined by the appropriate municipal governing body. In some municipalities, you may also be compensated for attending any required training sessions
