Boston needs bilingual (Chinese and Vietnamese) Poll Workers

Dear Community Members:

The Boston Election Department is still looking for bilingual (Chinese and Vietnamese) Poll Workers to work at various Boston precincts (voting locations) on November 3rd (Tuesdayfor the upcoming Municipal Election. Some of the areas that still need bilingual Poll Workers include: the McKinley School in the South End, the Morville House in Fenway, and the precincts in Allston-Brighton (Chinese) and Dorchester (Vietnamese). 

The Poll Workers’ job responsibilities include, but are not limited, to the following: assist with preparing the voting location for opening; hang signs in accordance with legal requirements; count ballots; check in voters; maintain a record of the Election Day’s activities; check handicap access; provide language assistance; assist in removing signage; pack up election materials; and help check counts at the end of the day. 

There are stipends ranging from $135-$175 for Poll Workers. While it is encouraged that all Poll Workers be available from 6:00am to the closing of the polls (9:00pm), those workers serving as Inspectors or Interpreters may opt for a half-day shift: 6AM to 2PM or 1PM to 9PM (prorated pay rate of $9/hour). All prospective Poll Workers will be required to attend a mandatory 2-hour training session prior to the Election.  

Poll Workers must be registered voters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, the guidelines for Interpreters are more flexible (i.e., voter status not required). All Poll Workers must exhibit a professional and helpful demeanor, and must be respectful and mindful of the ethnic and cultural diversity of Boston’s voters.

To download the Poll Worker application, please visit the Boston Election Department’s website: http://www.cityofboston.gov/elections/pollworkers.asp

I have also attached a copy of the application, and would greatly appreciate it if you could help forward this information to your networks. Thank you in advance for helping the Boston Election Department to ensure that there is language assistance at the polls for the voters with limited English proficiency.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or need more information. 

Best regards,
Helen
