Their responsibilities include checking in voters at polling locations and setting them up with a ballot. After the polls close, poll workers are responsible for delivering returns to county election officials. Their dedication ensures that our elections are fair, accurate, and legal.<\/p>\n<p>New poll workers are provided training prior to the General Election and paid for their training time and work on Election Day. Northampton County poll workers may earn between $175 and $200 for serving all of Election Day, depending on the poll worker\u2019s assignments and training. Typical Election Day hours are from 6:00 a.m. until after the polls close at 8 p.m. Individuals who bring supplies back to the Government Center receive additional compensation and mileage.<\/p>\n<p>Registered voters interested in becoming poll workers in your community can email the Northampton County Elections Office at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:election@norcopa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">election@norcopa.gov<\/a>\u00a0or call 610-829-6260.<\/p>\n<p>The PA Election Code also permits high school students 17 years of age to serve at the polls in specific capacities.\u00a0Any 17-year-old high school student interested should complete\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wo6djquab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001aBhVT7jzdvV0SxGb6hEt_7E2yb2r7mIKcp7-wZ8TZ7bFYudbN6yrITGT1ztk8LnnhJrANQCQhDKCv79Hnv6wosP76YWepj2LiKZtvXAJMUcaBzi4fSeKL9QWJAqYfuZjK7jTAcLcP_d4QfxBeLNTkNjkzsJ9HO3shTorDbBFAizeqvxIRwT-Veq7sxUghOX2BnbQNuY2cnWukjGZISA6gkiPXC4cUoR5L0kOHrNrXYnx5VGcm0ym73Pp68spEyU1f6R5YkbeFCbRhspztCWfr0vFe0CL7c5wafVmBl2uEm0=&amp;c=ZWKdrcBxOTmS--LAh-psZX_g3SIGnjlUljxF-0G-lD_1TYrfGM8XpQ==&amp;ch=J1eilgSnrgj-TG2lyufydwyrmYcHPnbqe_6h4a8MZGdlceH84hNepQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/wo6djquab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f%3D001aBhVT7jzdvV0SxGb6hEt_7E2yb2r7mIKcp7-wZ8TZ7bFYudbN6yrITGT1ztk8LnnhJrANQCQhDKCv79Hnv6wosP76YWepj2LiKZtvXAJMUcaBzi4fSeKL9QWJAqYfuZjK7jTAcLcP_d4QfxBeLNTkNjkzsJ9HO3shTorDbBFAizeqvxIRwT-Veq7sxUghOX2BnbQNuY2cnWukjGZISA6gkiPXC4cUoR5L0kOHrNrXYnx5VGcm0ym73Pp68spEyU1f6R5YkbeFCbRhspztCWfr0vFe0CL7c5wafVmBl2uEm0%3D%26c%3DZWKdrcBxOTmS--LAh-psZX_g3SIGnjlUljxF-0G-lD_1TYrfGM8XpQ%3D%3D%26ch%3DJ1eilgSnrgj-TG2lyufydwyrmYcHPnbqe_6h4a8MZGdlceH84hNepQ%3D%3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724784312021000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1SHwD-QJknre4SEo2idrBU\">this form<\/a>\u00a0and return it to the Elections Office.<\/p>\n<p>Our democracy increases in strength the more we all participate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Information provided to TVL by:<br \/>\nCounty of Northampton<br \/>\n669 Washington Street<br \/>\nEaston, PA 18042<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northamptoncounty.org\/\">https:\/\/www.northamptoncounty.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northampton County Elections Office continues to actively recruit registered voters residing in the County to serve in poll worker positions for the upcoming General Election on Tuesday, November 5th. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?p=134276\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Poll Workers Needed for Upcoming Presidential Election<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102389,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[69,5738,482],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-valley","category-northampton-county","category-press-release-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/nc-vote.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=134276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/102389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=134276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=134276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=134276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
