ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Alexandria Office of Voter Registrations and Elections is seeking election officers to help with the presidential primary on Super Tuesday, March 3. Election officers are paid $150.
Alexandria's 30 precincts require at least five election officers at each polling place. Election officers will set up the polling place and voting equipment, carry out voting procedures, verify voter registrations, certify the results of the precinct and close the polling place. Election officers are assigned to a precinct as close to their homes as possible.
To be eligible for the position, you must be a registered voter in Virginia, be civic-minded, have basic computer user skills, attend a training class before the election and be available for all of Election Day. Election officers are required to report at 4:45 a.m. on Election Day. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
