DeKalb County Needs Poll Workers

DECATUR, GA — DeKalb County needs poll workers for the approaching November general election, according to the county.

Applicants must be a DeKalb resident, at least 16 years old, not be a candidate for office or a relative of a candidate and cannot hold public office.

“Poll workers are an essential part of our elections operations,” Keisha Smith, executive director of DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections, said in a news release. “It’s a great way to get civically involved and work to ensure all DeKalb voters have the best voting experience. There are several critical support functions that our poll workers provide each election cycle, and I encourage residents to get involved and apply today.”

Poll workers must attend a half-day training session and work the day before the election starts to set up polling precincts, the county said. Workers must arrive on Election Day at polling locations at 5:30 a.m. and work until after 7 p.m. once polls close.
