There is an urgent need of poll workers in Monmouth County, especially in the coastal towns impacted by Hurricane Sandy, according to a statement today by Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon.

“Voting is one of the greatest privileges that we have as Americans,” said Hanlon. “Poll workers are essential to the voting process. Right now, we are asking our Monmouth County citizens to become a part of this process to help ensure fair and efficiently run elections.”

To qualify to be a poll worker, you must be a registered voter in Monmouth County and attend a poll worker training class. Classes are being scheduled now for the November General Election.

Poll workers will be compensated $200 for working a Primary Election or General Election.

For more information or to register for a training class, call the Monmouth County Board of Elections at 732-431-7802, ext. 7150.
