Weston Is Looking For Poll Workers For September, November

WESTON, MA — Weston is looking for residents to help the community by working in the three upcoming elections. Poll workers are responsible for checking in registered voters, answering general questions, and checking out the voters after the ballot has been submitted.

The town said with the anticipated increase in absentee/vote by mail ballots this year, workers will also assist with that process. Poll workers must be over 18.

Many of Weston's election workers are considered to be in the at-risk population for COVID-19. Because of this, there is additional need for help with the elections. Safety measures will be in place, including PPE and physical distancing.

The upcoming elections where election workers are needed are:

• September 1st State Primary (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.)
• September 10th Town Election (8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.)
• November 3rd Presidential Election (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.)

There are two polling locations for the state and national elections. A variety of shifts is available and this is a paid position.

Call Town Clerk Deborah Davenport at 781-786-5015 or email at davenport.d@westonma.gov if you are interested or have any questions.
