Poll Workers needed Palm Beach County

The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office needs Poll Workers for the upcoming August 18th, and November 3, 2020, elections.

It takes 4,000 poll workers to staff over 400 Election Day polling locations and phone banks.
We are hoping to keep as many locations open as possible. We have replacement sites for most of the polling locations that have pulled out, but we need Poll Workers to staff those and others. We are asking voters who can work the polls in August to sign up online by June 30th or shortly thereafter.

"Combined locations lead to longer lines on Election Day. We want to avoid that if possible, but we need help from those who are able to work. We have PPE and are instituting many safeguards to protect our Poll Workers and voters." said Supervisor Link.

Florida Poll Workers historically have been predominantly from demographic groups that are vulnerable to COVID-19, which has led to a decline in availability.

Link said, “We need Democrats, Republicans, NPAs, new voters, and old voters. Please consider this fulfilling way to support Palm Beach County and help everyone exercise their right to vote.”

All Poll Worker positions are paid positions.

If you are interested in working the polls, please visit our website at www.pbcelections.org under the Poll Worker tab, email pollworker@pbcelections.org, or call our office at 561-656-6200 and ask to speak with the Poll Worker Department.
