The instructions given at this meeting are very important, even if you have served as a poll worker in the past. Poll worker training is mandatory pursuant to Indiana Code 3-6-6-40 and the requirements of the St. Joseph County Election Board. The State routinely makes changes to Indiana election law and 2023 is no different. For this reason, $75.00 of your pay for working is for attending a training session. If you do not attend training, you will lose $75.00. To receive full pay, you must arrive before the start of your training session and stay until the end.
As a reminder, St. Joseph County is a Vote Center county. You can now vote at the polling location in which you are working on Election Day.
Please complete the review after attending the training, it will be available at the in-person trainings as well as posted here and in Zoom. The review will be used to ensure you receive credit for attending.
