Dearborn Hiring Election Inspectors For November Election

DEARBORN, MI — The City of Dearborn said Friday that Dearborn City Clerk George Darany is accepting applications for election inspectors to work the Nov. 2 election.

All applicants must be registered voters of the state of Michigan, except 16 and 17 year-old students who want to work as election inspectors.

Workers will earn $200 for working Election Day, and an additional $20 for attending the mandatory training class. In addition, workers who deliver laptops in the morning to local precincts and return all materials back to the Clerk’s Office at the end of the night receive additional pay as well.

The work starts at 6 a.m. and could run until 9 p.m. or later.

"Election inspectors are essential to a well-executed Election Day operation," Darany said. "The work day may be long, but those who work at the polls experience how rewarding it is to ensure that their neighbors have the opportunity to vote in-person without any issues."
