Become an Election Officer

You can cash in on our right to vote on Election Day (and it should be a very interesting one in 2016). Many localities need election officers, especially those who are bilingual. And while the hours may be long, the pay isn’t bad for a day’s – in some cases 6 a. m. until 9:30 p. m. -- work.

Generally, to qualify, you must be at least 18 years of age and a registered voter in the state, be a U. S. citizen, read and write English, and have transportation to the polling place. You'll likely also have to devote time to attend a training class.
