Election Officers

A list is submitted each year to our local party with the names of those individuals who have worked in the past and anyone that has shown interest to work for the first time. Each party signs off on the list after making any changes and returns the list by March 15^th to the County Board of Elections. The Board then fills the positions in each precinct or vote center with the names submitted. The law requires each Election Officer to be trained before each election.
