To achieve this it takes at least 164 Election Day workers spread evenly between Democrats and Republicans at the many polling sites across the towns and villages.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The majority of these workers have traditionally been retired and senior citizens. This year the COVID crisis has forced many of these faithful workers to stay home and opt out of service.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Board of Elections currently needs 15-20 additional workers, made up of both Democrats and Republicans to staff the poll sites during this important upcoming election where we will select a President, Congress members, State Senate and Assembly representatives, two Supreme Court Justices, and three local officials. Workers may also be registered with other parties or unaffiliated, but will be assigned to represent one of the major parties on Election Day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Workers will be trained to operate the voting machines and electronic poll books. Anyone who has touch screen or keyboard skills can check in voters on one of the new electronic poll books. Others can check voter credentials or follow checklists to help voters cast their ballots. PPE will be provided and protocols in place to protect the election workers and the public.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Workers will be paid a base pay of $200 plus stipends for attending class and other related tasks.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you wish to sign up to be an election worker, contact the Tioga County Board of Elections at (607) 687-8261 or email to <a href=\"mailto:VoteTioga@co.tioga.ny.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VoteTioga@co.tioga.ny.us<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You must be a registered voter of Tioga County to be eligible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least twice a year, the Tioga County Board of Elections conducts elections for the voters of the county so that they have a voice&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":80817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
