Camden County Seeks Poll Workers For Election Day

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — Election Day is coming, and Camden County is seeking applicants to work as poll workers at in-person voting locations, officials announced.

Poll workers are needed across the region to work at polling centers during the early voting period of Oct. 23 through Oct. 31, as well as on Election Day, Nov. 2.

Applicants can earn $14.29 per hour working on early voting days, and $275 for the day to work on Election Day. To apply, visit www.PollWorker.NJ.gov or call 856-401-8683.

Residents are always needed to work on Election Day for processing voters who come to the polling place to vote. By law, boardworkers must be registered to vote, and either be Democrat or Republican. An unaffiliated voter may declare their party and then be eligible to work as a boardworker.

Training is mandatory, and a boardworker must be recertified every two years. Boardworkers are paid for each Election Day. For more information, call 856-401-8683.

Additionally, Camden County has opened 29 secure ballot drop boxes across the county, including several in larger municipalities such as Cherry Hill and Gloucester Township.

“We encourage all Camden County residents, particularly those who cannot get to the polls in person on Nov. 2, to make sure their voices are heard by utilizing mail-in ballots or the early voting period at the end of October,” Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said. “That said, we are in need of poll workers for the upcoming General Election and anyone who is looking to make some extra money and would like to perform a critical public service should contact the Camden County Board of Elections.”
