King County Elections seeks 800 poll workers for November 6 General Election

Election Day is less than a month away and King County Elections is searching for nearly 800 civic-minded residents to serve as Election Day poll workers on Nov. 6. Poll workers are especially needed in Bothell, Kenmore, Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, North Bend, Duvall, Carnation, Snoqualmie, Issaquah, and Sammamish.

"Poll workers play a major role in helping ensure nearly 370,000 poll voters can cast their vote," said Sherril Huff, King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Director.

King County operates 407 polling places throughout the county with more than 4,000 poll workers for the Nov. 6 election.

Bilingual speaking poll workers are needed throughout King County to provide language assistance to Chinese voters with limited English proficiency, assisting in the set up and closing of polling places on Election Day, and instructing voters on proper voting procedures.

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. For more information on working for King County Elections or information on the ballot measures and candidates, please visit http://www.kingcounty.gov/elections/.
