[Northampton County, PA] – Due to poll worker cancellations, Northampton County Elections Division is seeking six registered voters who live in Northampton County to serve as poll workers for the upcoming Primary Election on Tuesday, May 19. The regions include Bethlehem, Northampton, Mount Bethel, and Easton areas.

Poll workers play a critical role in ensuring elections run smoothly by assisting voters, managing check-in processes, and helping facilitate the voting experience at polling locations across the County.

Poll workers are also responsible for closing out the polling place at the end of the night and returning materials to the Elections Office. The County relies on these individuals to uphold fair, accurate, and secure elections.

All poll workers are required to attend a mandatory training this Saturday, May 16 and are compensated for both training and service. Workers may earn between $175 and $200 on Election Day, depending on assignment and training. Election Day typically runs from 6:30 a.m. until after polls close at 8 p.m.

The easiest way to get started is by completing the Pennsylvania Department of State’s poll worker interest form online at:

https://www.pa.gov/services/vote/apply-to-become-an-election-poll-worker

Individuals who submit the form will have their information sent directly to the Northampton County Elections Division for consideration.

You may also contact the Northampton County Elections Division at elections@norcopa.gov or 610-829-6260 for more information. Serving as a poll worker is a direct way to support your community and strengthen the integrity of our elections.
