Sedgwick County is looking for poll workers to work on Election Day next month.

Sedgwick County needs more than 100 workers for the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Shifts begin at 4:45 a.m. and last until about 9 p.m. at the county’s 73 poll locations. Workers are required to attend a paid training session.

Positions are available for election clerks, provisional ballot judges and supervisors. Pay begins at $120 for election day, plus $37.50 for training.

A limited number of positions are available for half-day shifts, which pay $7.50 per hour.

Workers must be registered voters in Sedgwick County. Sixteen- or 17-year-olds, who if not for their age would otherwise be eligible to vote, also can apply.

For more information, contact the Sedgwick County Election Office at 316-660-7119 or electionworker@sedgwick.gov.
