The San Diego County Registrar of Voters announced on Mar. 9 that it is hiring poll workers for the upcoming June 2 Gubernatorial Primary Election. The office said poll workers are essential to the election process and will receive a daily stipend for their service.
This recruitment is especially focused on finding bilingual poll workers who can assist voters in 15 languages, as required by federal, state, and county law. The Registrar’s office noted that federal law mandates the provision of bilingual speakers and voting materials for voters who speak different languages, while state and county rules require additional language support at select vote centers.
San Diego County elections now operate under the Voter’s Choice Act, which replaces traditional polling places with vote centers open for several days before Election Day. As a result, poll workers are needed to staff these centers for either four or eleven days during the two weeks leading up to June 2.
The Registrar is seeking applicants who demonstrate teamwork, leadership, customer service skills, flexibility, patience, and integrity. Poll workers must represent the Registrar of Voters in a professional and nonpartisan manner. Applications are available at sdvote.com; more information can be obtained by calling 858-565-5800 or emailing pollworker@sdcounty.ca.gov.
