Do you get paid or is it strictly volunteer work for free?
Poll watchers are volunteers and not paid.
Election workers are hired for the day, some for only a few hours, some 30 minutes before the polls open to 30 minutes after the polls closed are hired by the city of Ellsworth, ME and are paid about $15 dollars an hours. So yes I get paid.
Many of these workers have been doing this for many many years.
