Every year, elections in Northampton County are made possible by citizens who step up to serve. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

All poll workers are required to attend a mandatory training prior to Election Day 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. Additional compensation and mileage reimbursement are provided for those who return supplies to the Government Center.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to get started is by completing the Pennsylvania Department of State\u2019s poll worker interest form online at:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/services\/vote\/apply-to-become-an-election-poll-worker<\/a><\/p>\n

Individuals who submit the form will have their information sent directly to the Northampton County Elections Division for consideration.<\/p>\n

You may also contact the Northampton County Elections Division at:\u00a0\u00a0elections@norcopa.gov<\/a>\u00a0or 610-829-6260 for more information.<\/p>\n

Serving as a poll worker is a direct way to support your community and strengthen the integrity of our elections.<\/p>\n
