Volunteer! Be a Poll Worker!

San Francisco Needs Poll Workers for the November 8 Election!

We at the Department of Elections invite you to join San Francisco’s Poll Worker Team for the November 8, 2022 Election!  

Poll workers are volunteers who help administer voting at neighborhood polling places on Election Day. Their responsibilities include setting up and closing the polling place, checking in voters using precinct rosters, answering voter questions, and providing materials such as ballots, voter registration forms, and “I Voted!” stickers. 

For their one-day service, poll workers receive a stipend ranging from $225 to $295 along with a collectable election-specific pin in recognition of their efforts. 

Many people find serving as a poll worker a meaningful way to give back to their communities. In fact, some San Francisco poll workers have volunteered in over 50 elections! The Department of Elections thanks the many volunteers who have already committed to help us conduct the upcoming election on November 8. 

We hope you too join us and serve our City!
