What is an Election Inspector?
Election Inspectors ensure fair, honest elections and protect the rights and privacy of every voter in accordance with New York State Election Law. Election Inspectors are registered voters who declare to work for either the Democratic or Republican Party on Election Day. Spanish Interpreters are non-partisan workers who provide Spanish translation services to voters.
What are the qualifications?
Election Inspectors must be registered voters in Monroe County and be willing to declare to work for either the Democratic or Republican Party on Election Day. They must be able to speak, read and write the English Language. They also must have a valid email address for communicating with the Board of Elections Training Team.
What days and hours do Inspectors work?
All Inspectors work on General Election Day in November from 5:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Some Inspectors will also work for a Primary or a Special Election, usually 5:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Inspectors may also sign up to work Early Voting days. All Inspectors will be given breaks throughout the day, including a lunch break.
What training is required?
Training and testing is required for Election Inspectors every year. Trainings are held at the Board of Elections Service Center in the months leading up to the Primary and General Election, at varying times and dates. Training classes run about 2 hours. Election Inspectors who work on Election Day are paid for attending their training.
Will I be working with experienced Inspectors?
Yes. There are multiple Inspectors working at each polling place. The majority of Inspectors in Monroe County return to work on Election Day every year, so you will likely be surrounded by veteran Inspectors at your polling place. Additionally, each polling place is assigned a Site Chair from each party who is an experienced Election Inspector that supervises the site and can answer questions.
