What is the job of a Poll Worker?

When we say "poll workers," we mean the people who check voters into the precinct location to vote, hand the voter their ballot or card for the ballot marking device (touch screen computer with ballot), tells the voter where to deposit the ballot in the ballot box, and closes the precinct location after voting is over.

Your state may call this position one of the following titles: poll worker, election official, judge of elections, inspector of elections, judge, inspector, or some other similar title. These "poll workers" are generally hired at the county level by the permanent employees who administer the elections and maintain voter rolls.

Those permanent employees may hold one of the following titles: election supervisor, election board, board of elections, board of commissioners, county supervisors, county judges, etc. The titles vary from state to state. Generally speaking, if you want to work the election on Election Day or during early voting and be paid to work, you will need to reach out to the county employee responsible for hiring those poll workers.

What is the job of a Poll Watcher?

A poll watcher is in the voting precinct while voters vote, silently watching and observing the election process. If the poll watcher sees irregularities, the poll watcher will report those irregularities to the entity (i.e., county political party) that assigned the poll watcher position based on the training received by that entity (county political party).
