LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Registrar of Voters Office reported that it needs bilingual poll workers to work on Election Day, June 7.

There is a shortage of poll workers who can provide language assistance in Spanish.

A poll worker is an essential component to every polling place location on Election Day.

Registered voters, U.S. citizens eligible to register to vote in California, and legal permanent residents (green card holders) who are interested in this important work are encouraged to apply at the Lake County Registrar of Voters office 325 N Forbes St, Lakeport or phone 707-263-2372 for information.

The Registrar of Voters Office’s goal is to build a strong capable workforce of polling place officials who are readily available to work on Election Day.

Anyone who is interested in community service and has the time to serve as a poll worker is urged to apply.

The workday is from 6 a.m. to approximately 10 p.m., with breaks for lunch and dinner. Each poll worker is asked to attend a special class of instruction for election officers prior to each election.

Please contact the Lake County Registrar of Voters office today to volunteer to work as a poll worker. Poll workers earn an Election Day stipend as well as a stipend for attending the Election Officers Instruction Class.
