Colton looking for election poll workers
Workers at Election Day polling sites are an important part of democracy, according to Assemblymember William Colton, who said they play a key role in ensuring that voters’ rights are respected.
Colton, along with Nancy Tong and Charles Ragusa, the two Democratic Party district leaders in the 47th Assembly District (Gravesend-Bensonhurst), is hunting for people to serve as poll workers on Primary Day and Election Day.
There are a number of different positions available for those who want to work on Election Day at the polls, Colton said. Poll workers are paid and can be assigned to serve any one of a number of different functions, including inspectors, poll clerks and information clerks. Other workers at the polls include interpreters fluent in foreign languages like Spanish and Chinese.
