Veteran Poll Workers Honored By Sussex County Board Of Elections Officials

SUSSEX COUNTY, N.J.– Longtime Sussex County poll workers who have served the voting public for over 20 years years were honored by the Board of Elections.

Freeholder Director George Graham presented the individuals with certificates and personalized name badges.

"The best part about being a poll worker is getting to see all your neighbors and everyone who comes in to vote," said Jeanie Nigro, a poll worker coordinator for the county board. "It really is a social thing, and you get paid to do it."

Sussex County consists of 119 voting districts and employs about 480 poll workers for each
county-wide election (June and November), according to the county website.
