1. What are the requirements?
You must be
registered to vote in Maricopa County, in order to register you must
meet the following requirements:
A citizen of
the United States.
18 Years of
age or older preceding the next General Election.
A resident of
the state 29 days preceding the next General Election.
Have not been
convicted of a felony or treason, or if so, your civil rights have been
restored.
2. What will be expected of me, what are my duties?
Duties vary according to the position chosen. There are no math tests, and
everything is extremely “user friendly”. However, the hours are long, and once
sworn in you may not leave the polling place until the polls are closed.
Inspectors, Judges, and all first-time boardworkers are expected to attend
a training class approximately 2-6 weeks before the actual Election Day
(typically 2hrs), you will also need to assist your co-workers in
“setting-up” the polling place the Monday before the Election. On Election Day
you are to report to work at 5:30 a.m., and you will not be finished until
approximately 8:00 p.m. that evening.
3. Do I get paid?
Yes, again depending on the position chosen.
Inspectors - (in "charge" of the polling place) $115
Judges - $100
Clerks - $100
Marshal - $100
4. Can I work at a location near my home?
Yes, it is always our intent to have our workers work at a polling place within
their voting precinct when possible. If we can’t place you in your own precinct
we will at least try to place you in a neighboring precinct.
5. When is the next election in my
area?
6. How do I sign up?
You can either call (602) 506-1511 and give us your name, address and phone
number, or you can fill out this form and we will get back to you within a
couple of weeks to verify your information.
