The Manchester Registrars of Voters is looking to hire residents to be paid election officials to work at the polls for the upcoming Presidential Election, Tuesday, November 5, 2024 and any other future elections. We are looking for dedicated citizens who care about their community, who want to ensure that each vote counts, and who want each voter to have the best possible voting experience. This is an opportunity to fulfill an important civic duty and to get paid as well. It is a very satisfying day, as you assist in the ultimate democratic right and process: voting.
Before you apply, and we hope that you do, here is some information you should consider:
You must be a US Citizen, registered voter and Manchester resident. Positions are Full-Day positions, which means you must arrive at the polling location at 5:15 am and stay until the close of the poll. The poll usually closes at 8:00 pm, but can stay open later if voters are still in line at 8:00 pm. Most poll workers have some paperwork to complete and then are free to leave, approximately 30 minutes after the close of the poll.
A mandatory in-person, one hour, training class must be taken by all election officials prior to the election. For more information contact the Registrars of Voters office by emailing your contact information to: registrar@manchesterct.gov or visiting: manchesterct.gov/vote
