Sign up for the Poll Worker Team now
Poll workers are still needed for both early voting and the presidential election in November. The registrar’s office is compiling an email list of poll workers. Volunteer poll workers must be at least 16 years old and can choose to volunteer for a few hours, as desired to fit their schedules. If you are good with computers, your help is needed for the 14 days of early voting and same day registration (Oct. 21–Nov. 3.)
Most early voting shifts are four hours. The presidential election is Tuesday, Nov. 5 and most shifts for Election Day are eight hours. We also need same-day registration helpers, absentee ballot counters and traffic help on Election Day for short shifts. To be added to the list or if you did not receive the poll worker information e-letter, please email the registrars at: registrarofvoters@granby-ct.gov
Poll worker training is required to serve. The registrars of voters are inviting all interested citizens and students to a poll worker class on voting here in Granby. We will cover all of the protocols in place to secure ballots and ensure verifiable results. The class will be held on Thursday, Oct. 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Granby Town Hall Meeting room.
