"For those considering to apply, pleas know that safety procedures will be in place and personal protective equipment, such as masks, face shields, plexiglass barriers and gloves, will be supplied."
Those appointed to work the elections are expected to work Election Day from 6 a.m. until approximately 10 p.m. and must attend a mandatory certification class before Election Day.
Other requirements include being detail-oriented, friendly, and be able to work a possible 16 hour shift.
