We need to recruit some 2,000 Election Day poll workers to help with an anticipated record voter turnout this year.
 
While response to date has been heartening, we especially need more of:
  • Spanish bilingual poll workers (must be English-proficient)
  • Republican poll workers

College Students
Do you have a need to pick up some extra cash? Need a summer job? Become a Denver poll worker. You can work Election Day only, or you can work on a temporary basis in the weeks leading up to the elections. See the information above for qualifications and an application.
 
 
High School Students
We need you too! If you are, or will be, 16 years of age by Election Day, join our high school poll worker program for Election Day work. You will earn the same pay as adults. The only difference is that you will need your school's permission to be away from school on November 4, General Election Day. If you are still on summer break during the Primary Election on August 12, you do not need the extra permission.
