One of the best ways that you can help make sure Massachusetts holds successful elections is by offering your time to be a poll worker.
Poll workers are needed across the Commonwealth on November 5, and many communities will also need workers to assist with early voting.
Poll workers are hired by local election officials to help check in voters, distribute ballots, tally votes, and assist voters in the polling place.
Generally, poll workers must be registered voters of the Commonwealth, though up to 2 poll workers per precinct may be 16 or 17 years old.
If you are able to offer your time to be a poll worker, please visit the Elections Division’s website,
www.VoteInMA.com, to find contact information for the local election office where you would like to work. You do not need to be a resident of a city or town in order to be a poll worker there.
