  July 16, 2007 Final casting callKing County Elections seeks 500 poll workers for August 21 primaryKing County Elections urges residents to support democracy and meet other civic-minded residents by serving as an Election Day poll worker in the early, August 21 primary. The early primary date provides the perfect opportunity for students to engage themselves in the democratic process, and earn some extra spending money. "Poll workers will help ensure 371,000 poll voters have the chance to make their opinions count," said Sherril Huff, King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Director. "Both this year’s primary and November General Election require us to staff 407 polling places with more than 4,000 poll workers." Voters throughout King County will be voting on ballot measures and local candidates in the August 21 primary. King County Elections is 500 short of the 4,000 poll workers needed to conduct a countywide election. Workers are especially needed in eastern King County. Poll workers are responsible for opening and closing the polls and issuing ballots to voters. Workers will receive a four-hour, paid training, and the position requires attentiveness and a commitment to helping people navigate the election process. Poll workers in King County receive around $122.92 for their service on Election Day, which begins at 6 a.m. and ends once the poll closing procedures are completed, around 9 p.m. Individuals interested in serving as a poll worker should call the Poll Worker Coordination Office at 206-296-1606.
