Representatives from the Erie County Elections and Voter Registration Office are answering questions and looking for people to work the polls on Election Day.
County officials said that poll workers are paid positions and they are looking for reliable residents to help the community.
Erie County needs 900 poll workers each Election Day.
“It’s really important to be a poll worker just because without poll workers we don’t have an election. It’s the easiest way for people in our community to get involved,” said Randall Sutter, Election Clerk.
