Delaware County is preparing for the General Election and is hiring staff to help with the elections process.

The jobs will assist on election day and to work on post-election projects, such as counting votes, processing poll worker pay sheets, cleanup and sorting of returned supplies, and more.

Many people who held these posdtitions were volunteers but the county plans to hire paid workers for these jobs.

Operators will be trained to process mail-in voter applications through a computer system.

Operators will start immediately in the Government Center in Media. In September, election staff will move to a new office space in the Wharf at Rivertown building, located at 2501 Seaport Drive in Chester, next to the Talen Energy Soccer Stadium.

Processers will be trained to process the physical mail-in ballot pieces and will assemble the mail-in ballot mailers. They will also assist with date stamping and sorting the returned ballots.

This position requires employees to have an understanding of precincts and post offices in the county and complete tasks quickly with a high level of accuracy.

Processers will start the first week of September in the new office space.

Successful operators and processers will be invited back to help with future elections.

Applicants will be required to submit their resume and complete a brief assessment online. Previous volunteers are encouraged to apply.
