Counting Center Worker Information

As a Counting Center worker, you will provide an important element to the election process, serve your community, and meet new people. Interested candidates will participate in the canvassing of mail ballots and in the receiving of the materials from Precinct Clerks and Election Support personnel. Some workers, at the discretion of the Supervisor of Elections, may be able to serve in both or just one of the positions.

Canvassing of Mail Ballots - Working under the direction of the County Canvassing Board, the canvassing function includes separating vote by mail ballots from their certificate envelopes, and canvassing the ballots.


Requirements for Counting Center Workers

Requirements to work in the Counting Center are similar to poll workers, except those interested in the canvassing of mail ballots must be available to begin work at least 22 days prior to Election Day. Depending on the number of mail ballots received, some workers may also be asked to work at least one weekend day. Those who wish to work just in the Receiving Center must be able to work the evening of the election.
