Tulsa County is set for Tuesday’s election but is already looking for polling place workers for August and November.
"Tulsa County has 262 polling places, and we need three to four officials at each polling place, so it could easily hit 1,100," said election board Secretary Patty Bryant.
Polling place workers must be registered voters and attend a daylong training class. Retirees often do the job, but Bryant said anyone can.
"We don't really look for a particular age. We're looking for civic-minded people, people that are willing to give back to the community, because we realize it's not a large paycheck for them," Bryant said.
If you don’t live in Tulsa County, you can probably work at the polls where you do live.
"Every county has the same need, so if you live in Washington County or Wagoner County, you know, the surrounding counties around Tulsa, then you could work in their county election on election day," Bryant said. "Whatever county you're registered in, that would be the county that you work in."
Tulsa County hires provisional voting officers, clerks, judges and inspectors. They earn up to $97 a day, plus mileage.
