The Lane County Elections Office is hiring temporary election workers to assist with the May 21, 2024 Primary Election. 

 

“Temporary election workers are critical to the success of elections,” said County Clerk Dena Dawson. “We want to build a more diverse pool of people that is representative of our community. Retirees are always welcome, but so are students, stay-at-home parents, gig workers, and anyone who just wants to learn more about elections or earn a few bucks.”

 

Available positions include customer service, data entry, ballot processing, and ballot collection. Some positions require a few weeks of availability and others only require a few days, or even just one night. Lane County does not use volunteers to conduct elections; all temporary election worker positions are paid. 

 

Temporary election workers are hired before each election cycle. Another round of hiring will begin in August for the November 5 Presidential Election.
