It takes a lot of work and workers to make an election go smoothly, and Webster Parish Clerk of Court Holli Vining says she needs more people to ensure that happens in the upcoming elections.

“We are currently recruiting election poll workers,” Vining said.

In order to be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:

Must be a registered voter.

Must be able to work from approximately 5 a.m. until 9p.m. on election day.

Must be willing to serve in any precinct in the parish.

Must not be a law enforcement officer.

Workers are selected by random drawing and receive $200 for each election worked.

Training and testing are required and take place at 5 p.m. Wednesday, September 18, Minden Civic Center and 5 p.m. Thursday, September 26, Springhill Civic Center.
