The Cook County Clerk's office is in need of poll workers to serve voters during the November 8, 2016 Presidential Election. There will be a significant increase in voter turnout in November and the Clerk's office needs more poll workers to facilitate the democratic process

Having a broad spectrum of community members working together to serve voters in local polling places is a critical part of the democratic process.

There are two positions available: Election Judge or Equipment Manager. Both positions assist voters and ensure the polling place is running smoothly. Equipment Managers have greater responsibility for setting up and maintaining the voting equipment. Due to the additional responsibility, Equipment Managers receive more training and higher pay. Election Judges earn $175. Equipment Managers earn $325.

Bilingual judges are always needed and there are also positions available for college and high school students.
