TRENTON — Interested in becoming a poll worker?
New Jersey counties, in partnership with the Department of State and New Jersey Division of Elections, are looking for residents to serve as poll workers for the upcoming primary election.
Those who staff a polling location will earn $21.43 per hour on in-person early voting days, which range from Friday, June 3 through Sunday, June 5, and $300 on Primary Election Day, Tuesday, June 7. Hours and days may vary.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to see our great democracy in action, firsthand,” said Acting New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way.
