Poll Worker Opportunities

Working at the polls is a demanding but vital part of making democracy work. We are always looking for people to work at our polling places. We recruit and train approximately 2,000 workers for a countywide election. If you would like to serve, please call 650-286-2810 or email us at pollworkertraining@smcare.org.

2. Compensation - A stipend of $125.00 for Inspectors (those in charge of the precinct) and $100.00 for Judges.
