Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett recently announced that his office has partnered with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to recruit poll workers for the November election. Most Tennessee citizens age 16 years and older are eligible to work as poll officials, including county or municipal government employees if they do not work directly under the supervision of an elected official who is on the ballot. Federal employees also can serve. Poll workers will be supplied with gowns, face shields, gloves and other PPE and will be required to wear a face covering. Workers are paid for training time as well as hours worked during the election. Visit govotetn.com for more information or to apply to become a poll official.
