How to Become a Poll Worker, State by State
Election workers are an essential component of every polling location on Election Day.
It's a job that's often done by older people, who this year may be trying to avoid situations where they come into contact with lots of strangers (something that may also be the case for you, of course). That means election authorities will probably need more first-time poll workers than usual. The roles are generally paid in some way (although how that happens and how much they pay varies a lot).
If you're interested, the team at Ms, Magazine have put together a list of the most specific information they could find on how to begin the poll worker application process:
