The Northampton County Elections Office is seeking registered county voters to serve as poll workers for the Nov. 5 presidential election.
Among their duties, poll workers check in voters at polling places, set them up with ballots and deliver the returns to county election officials at the end of the night.
They are also paid, earning $175 and $200 for serving all of Election Day.
Typical election day hours are from 6:00 a.m. until after the polls close at 8 p.m. Individuals who bring supplies back to the Government Center receive additional compensation and mileage.
Training will be provided prior to Nov. 5.
Interested voters who are county residents can email the Northampton County Elections Office at election@norcopa.gov or call 610-829-6260.
