Elections and Voting

Have you ever been interested in becoming a Poll Worker?

Election inspectors i.e., poll workers are paid to assist voters during the Early Vote period and on Election Day at the polls. With the expansion of Early In-person Voting, Kalamazoo County needs election inspectors. The technology used in election processes is always advancing, so people that are comfortable using computers and electronic equipment are especially helpful. Poll workers are paid $16/hr., and training is provided in advance of the election.

An election inspector must be a registered voter of the State. They cannot be a challenger, candidate, member of a candidate's immediate family, or a member of the local Board of Canvassers. Anyone convicted of a felony or an election crime may not serve.

We will need all hands-on deck to staff this unprecedented increase in in-person early voting sites. Apply today to become an election inspector (i.e. poll worker) and help implement Early Voting in Kalamazoo County!
