Poll workers needed in Raleigh County
BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — Poll workers play a vital role in democracy by making sure the voting process is fair and equal for everyone.
Raleigh County Clerk Scott Van Meter said poll workers are needed at precincts throughout the county.
He asked folks to step up for this coming Election Day.
“Poll workers are an important part of the voting process. You know they open the poll places up in the morning, and they close them down,” said Vanmeter on Monday, March 18, 2024. “They’re there to register you, and if you have any problems getting registered, you know, checking your voter’s registration, and they’re there to assist you.”
Van Meter added that anyone who is interested may call or go to the Raleigh County Clerk’s Office at the Raleigh County Courthouse.
Evening classes for poll workers will run from April 15 to May 6, 2024.
Workers are paid $50 for attending the classes.
