King County Elections is still looking for 700 individuals to fill nearly 4,000 poll worker positions for the state’s Aug. 19 primary.

Bilingual speaking poll workers also are needed.

Poll workers are responsible for opening and closing the polls and issuing ballots to voters. Workers receive a three-hour, paid training prior to election day, and the position requires attentiveness and a commitment to helping people navigate the election process.

Poll workers in King County receive $125.09 for their service on election day, which begins at 6 a.m. and ends once the poll closing procedures are completed, around 9 p.m.
