There is nothing more important to democracy than free and fair elections. By becoming a poll worker, you will help ensure that all registered voters are able to exercise their right to vote freely, without obstruction or influence. As an Election Day poll worker, you will work with a team, and each team member will have their own important role. Together, you will help the City of Westfield have a successful and efficient Election Day. Election Day poll workers will receive a stipend for their day of service to our City.
