Portage poll workers sought for May 5 election

Portage County Board of Elections is looking for registered voters to work as precinct election officials for the May 5 primary.

Precinct election officials help to make sure elections are fair and follow Ohio law.

Poll workers open and close polling place on Election Day, and guide voters through the election process. Those interested must be registered to vote in Portage County, be able to attend a scheduled training class and have access to reliable transportation.

Precinct election officials must arrive at their assigned polling location at 5:45 a.m. May 5 and serve until their duties are completed after polls close at 7:30 p.m. They will receive $20 for attending a training class. On Election Day, precinct election officials will be paid $140.
