Election Workers Needed in Anchorage

Election workers are needed in Anchorage.  The City of Anchorage will be holding it’s municipal elections on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 and they need people to help organize and process election day paperwork.  Even though seasoned election workers are always available and willing to pitch in during election times here in Anchorage, there is always a shortage.  Encouraging younger people to become an election worker is one way to get them more involved in local government, as well as showing them that they really can make a difference.

Anchorage election workers will be required to work from 6am to 10pm on the day of the election (April 3, 2012).  To be considered, you will need to be a registered Anchorage voter, possess the ability to organize and process paperwork accurately, can follow directions and must remain neutral at the polling place.  All approved applicants will be required to go through a two hour training session before election day.  All election workers will receive $9.50/hour for training as well as the actual election day work, while Chairmen will receive $12/hour.

Training for 2012 Election Workers will take place at the ZJ Loussac Library located at 3600 Denali Street in Anchorage.  The training schedule is as follows:

• March 14, 2012 – 10am to 1pm
• March 15, 2012 – 5pm to 8pm
• March 17, 2012 – 10am to 1pm
• March 19, 2012 – 2pm to 5pm

All Anchorage election workers will need to submit an I-9 form (using your mailing address) and a valid form or forms of identification.  This can be either a passport, a driver’s license and social security card or a driver’s license and birth certificate.  For more information on becoming an election day worker in Anchorage, please visit the City’s website, call 243-VOTE or email elections@muni.org.
