Registrar needs more poll workers for June 7 primary

The Presidential Primary Election is Tuesday, June 7, and the Registrar of Voters still needs 140 poll workers throughout the county.

Bilingual poll workers are in special demand, with 42 Spanish speakers, 37 Vietnamese speakers, seven Filipino speakers and three Chinese speakers still needed to help voters on election day.

The Registrar also needs standby poll workers who can be assigned on short notice. Poll workers receive a stipend ranging from $75 to $175 depending on the assignment. Those who are bilingual receive an additional $15 if they are assigned specifically to provide language assistance to voters.

Poll workers must be registered voters in California or must be permanent residents in the United States and have transportation to their assigned polling location. They will also need access to the Internet to complete an online training and attend a two-hour class.

Prospective poll workers can apply online at sdvote.com. For more information, call 858-565-5800 or email Pollworker@sdcounty.ca.gov.
