The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is seeking temporary employees and poll workers for the March 15, 2016 Primary Election. Applications are now being accepted for more than 5,000 paid positions. “Our democracy depends on citizens being engaged in the election process,” said Pat McDonald the Director of the Board of Elections. “Poll workers are the backbone of all elections as they assist voters on Election Day, and temporary employees help with vital administrative work before, during and after each election,” said McDonald.

Poll Workers earn up to $200.00 for their service, which includes successfully completing a poll worker training class and attending a meeting the night before the election.

Over 150 temporary employees are being hired to perform a wide range of duties. These jobs can last up to several months.
