There are multiple different ways to be a poll worker in Hamilton County. Precinct election officials, or PEOs, help to set up the polls before Election Day, and they instruct voters about procedures at the polling place the day of the election. The position pays $181.50 and requires a four-hour training session, which are offered mornings, afternoons and evenings.
Other positions include voting location manager (VLM) and voting location deputy (VLD), which manage responsibilities and procedures at the polling place. While the Election Day process is non-partisan, these two positions are staffed by people from opposite political parties. These positions make slightly more money for their time, with VLMs making $218 and VLDs making $186.50.
