Burlington County Board of Elections Seeking Poll Workers for 2026 General Election
The Burlington County Board of Elections is calling on civic-minded residents to become poll workers for the upcoming General Election.
“Our democracy depends on free and fair elections, and this is an opportunity for both Democrats and Republicans to serve their communities and help their fellow citizens exercise their fundamental right,” said Burlington County Board of Elections Chair Heather Cheesman. “No matter your background or political affiliation, you can help serve your community and our country in a very profound and inspiring way.”
Prospective poll workers must be 18 years or older, registered to vote in Burlington County, and able to read and write legibly. They should also be available to work from approximately 5:15 AM to 8:30 PM on Election Day, November 3, 2026.
No experience is needed, but mandatory in-person training is required. Tech-savvy citizens and dual-language speakers are strongly encouraged to consider this public service.
Poll worker duties include unlocking voting machines and equipment, setting up electronic pollbooks, voter sign-in and processing, assisting voters, closing polls, and picking up and returning supplies.
Poll workers will be paid $300 for working Election Day. Poll workers will also receive pay for training, provided they work on Election Day.
