3. Pinellas County, Florida

I just registered after lurking a long time to respond to this thread.
This will be my second election. I'm an inspector checking photo and signature ids and having the voter sign the register.

I report at O'dark thirty (545am) In the primary election we got out of there at 8 pm. I expect a longer night Tuesday. I heard some of the early voting sights were open until 1 am to take care of everyone that was in line at 7 pm.

The pay is $125 for the day.

4. I usually run a precinct in CA.

I'm sitting this one out though. My regular job is too busy right now for me to devote the time necessary to do a good job at it.

As busy as we are, I am still taking Tuesday off to follow the election closely from home. Can't hardly wait!

As for pay for working the elections, as an inspector, I usually get about $160 plus mileage and a little per-diem. Long-ass day though.

I'll be back on board for the next election here.

5. Not this year, other duties don't permit. We work 6 am to ??? (usually 11ish PM) for $120.

In 2004 we got a bit more because we had to do some extra training on the new voting machines and HAVA and there was a federal grant to pay for it.

6. I'm working in Montgomery Cty, PA 6:30 am to 8:30 pm

This is the first time I'm working at the polls, excited but nervous. $95.00 total, not bad for a retiree. Thank God the voter ID isn't in effect.

7. I'm in Allegheny County........

and they upped us to $105 a few years backi. My mom started working the polls at the age of 70. Our Democratic committeeman knew my folks, and knew that Dad had died a few months before the primary & called Mom to work the polls knowing she needed to see people and do something.

From Mom, I came to work (was Judge of Elections for a couple of years) then my brother (he's now Judge). Four of my 8 nieces and nephews when they reached voting age have worked with us. When I went back to College in 2001, I would find the neediest student I knew and have them stay over night at my house & they would work the polls. I did this for about 5 young women.

Tomorrow there will be 6 people working our precinct. I am the Rover, I take care of all problems that walk into the door. If someone is not registered at our precinct, they do not leave until I find out where they are to vote. I think we have only done one provisional ballot over the past few years. That's because we let the voter know where they are registered and if needed we get one of the committee people to drive them to that polling place.
