Hamilton County recruiting poll workers, now with a bigger paycheck

Early voting starts in about a month but election officials are recruiting poll workers for the big day on Nov. 5. Hamilton County needs about 2,800 poll workers, more than is usually needed in years with no presidential election.

"Hamilton County voters have been pretty consistent over the years — we see about 70% of them turn out during presidential election years," said Board of Elections Deputy Director Alex Linser. "That is about 450,000 people, so we have a lot of work to do."

To be a poll worker, you just need to be a registered voter and attend a one-time training session.

"We offer those classes during the day, during the evenings, and during the weekend, so we work around your schedule," Linser said. "Then we try to place you at a polling location somewhat near your home."
