Multiple counties across West Virginia are still seeking poll workers for the Nov. 3 General Election.
Secretary of State Kris Warner announced in a press release that 15 counties are seeking poll workers.
The requirements to be a poll worker include being a registered voter in your county, the ability to read and write in the English language, and attending poll worker training.
In some counties high school juniors and seniors in good educational standing may also qualify.
Poll workers are paid for both attending a training class and working the polls. Duties can include delivering election supplies to polling places, setting up voting rooms, verifying voter identities and registrations, greeting voters, issuing ballots, and securing the materials after polls close.
