Durham Pollworker Recruiting Ad
Having worked as an election official in the 2006 election and then as an election judge in the 2008 primary and runoff I can definitely recommend it. Last I heard they were expecting record crowds for this election so people are definitely needed. So, if you are at all interested, give the Durham BOE a call or send them an e-mail and sign up today!

And I just saw looking at that ad, that it pays $12.95 an hour. Not too shabby. I thought it was a volunteer gig. What a great opportunity to learn more about the voting process. Thanks for posting this!

Apparently lots of people think it’s a volunteer job, but not only does the early voting pay $12.95/hour, but if you do the actual election it’s a couple hundred dollars! I actually bought myself a new digital camera with the money I made off the primary & run-off elections.
