Become a Poll Worker

Poll Workers are the cornerstones of our democratic process. Citizens in Wakulla County serve as Poll Workers for the Supervisor of Elections to ensure elections are accurate, accessible and transparent. On Election Day, we count on these civic-minded individuals to efficiently process voters, provide assistance, and guide voters on the proper use of our voting technologies and accessible devices. It is a great day to serve your community, meet new people, and earn some extra money! It’s a day to feel proud to be an American.

Each polling site has an election board, which includes a Clerk, Assistant Clerk, Inspectors and a Deputy. Poll Workers are selected and appointed to these positions by the Supervisor of Elections.”

We look forward to meeting you!

Joe Morgan
Wakulla County Supervisor of Elections

Please note: After completing this application and the orientation process, you will become part of our pool of prospective poll workers. Your name will remain active until you request that it be removed. Not all poll workers work every election. The number of poll workers for each election is determined by the size of the election and the expected turnout. Poll workers are chosen to work a specific election by their availability, willingness to travel, and the number of workers needed. While we like to keep an election board constant throughout an election cycle, this often cannot be done.
