Why Work Elections?

Election workers play an essential role in helping Travis County conduct fair and efficient elections. Whether assisting voters at polling locations, supporting election operations behind the scenes, or providing technical assistance, election workers help ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.

Most election positions are temporary and are offered during election cycles. Training is provided for many roles.

Election Day Poll Worker

Election Day poll workers have duties similar to those of early voting workers, but everything happens in one day. Working on Election Day is long and often intense, but very rewarding. Workers Check in voters on a computer, issue a code to access ballot on the voting equipment, provide assistance to voters with voting equipment if needed. Workers must be registered to vote in Travis County, able to attend any required training prior to Election Day, and available to work from 6 am to 8 pm or until the polls close. The ability to speak both English and Spanish is a plus! Multiple locations are available. Positions pay $20.00 to $22.00 per hour.

Qualifications and Requirements

  • Requirements vary by position, but applicants may be asked to:
  • Be at least 16 years old for certain student positions or 18 years old for others.
  • Attend required training before working.
  • Be available during scheduled election periods.
  • Meet any position-specific requirements, such as lifting equipment, possessing a valid Texas driver's license, or being a registered voter when required.
  • Demonstrate strong customer service, communication, or technical skills depending on the role.
  • Always review the position announcement for specific qualifications.

Pay and Work Schedules

  • Election positions are temporary and are scheduled around election activities, including Early Voting and Election Day. Work schedules, shift lengths, and compensation vary depending on the position.
  • Refer to each job announcement for current pay rates, schedules, and assignment details.
