What is an Election Inspector?
An Election Inspector, i.e. poll worker, is a hired, paid, and trained individual who assists with running the local election in compliance with Michigan Election Law.
Election inspectors greet and check-in voters, verify voter identity, issue ballots, and assists with ballot tabulation. Individuals may also be asked to assist with processing absentee ballots.
What are the Qualifications and Requirements to be an Election Inspector?
-
You must be at least 16 years of age. (Any 16–17-year-old is only permitted to work a half day)
