The Daviess County Election Office seeking applicants for poll workers for the May 21 Primary Election.
Poll workers would be required to attend training before the primary in addition to working on May 21, with the option of also working during early voting days.
County Clerk Leslie McCarty said they try to bring in 200 poll workers — with a 50% split by party to ensure there is equal representation.
Poll workers can have any of four jobs ranging from helping someone receive the correct ballot to ensuring that a ballot is turned in correctly.
“Really, everybody there kind of helps each other with their jobs,” McCarty said.
McCarty said all poll workers will be paid, and those who work during early voting would earn a higher pay.
If someone is interested in working the polls, McCarty said to contact the County Clerk’s office or their party’s representative on the Election Council: the Republican Representative is Jane Lambert and the Democratic Representative is Lisa Leonard.
The application can also be found on the County’s election site here.
The Primary ballot will include the Owensboro City Commission and Mayoral races along with the Presidential race. To see the ballot order and access bios on the local candidates, click here.
