Stipends vary from $130-$175

The Butte County Elections Office is looking to hire more than 100 people to work at the polls during the primary election on June 5.

Those who are interested must fill out an application, attend a training, help set up polling places and support a local precinct on election day. Pay will range from $130-$175, based on the position: clerk, voting system specialist or precinct inspector. In general, inspectors deliver ballots, touch screens and supplies to receiving centers; system specialists help voters use the touch screens; and clerks assist voters throughout election day, cleaning up polling places at night.
