Participate in Democracy - Be a Poll Worker

 To be a poll worker, a person must:

  • Be a qualified elector of the county in which the municipality is located
  • Be able to speak, read, and write fluently in the English language (a second language is always a plus!)
  • Have strong clerical skills
  • Be able to solve problems
  • Be an effective communicator
  • NOT be a candidate for any office to be voted on at the polling place at that election.

What are the responsibilities of a poll worker?

Poll workers (election inspectors) conduct assigned duties at a polling site on Election Day. Duties can include issuing ballots to registered voters, registering voters, monitoring the voting equipment, explaining how to mark the ballot or use the voting equipment. Under Wisconsin law, an employer must grant unpaid leave for all poll workers on election day.

This is a PAID position and training will be provided. For more information, click here
