KENT—The Registrars of Voters are seeking poll workers for August’s Primary and the General Election in November. Those interested are asked to contact registrar@townofkentct.org. Poll workers can be Unaffiliated, Democratic or Republicans.
Poll workers must be a U.S. citizen aged 18 or older who is registered to vote in Connecticut, or a citizen aged 16 or 17 with residency in the town in which they are working and permission to work from a parent or guardian.
They must not be a candidate for office (except a registrar of voters or municipal clerk, who is a candidate for the same office, performing their official duties). They may not be an immediate family member of a candidate if transporting, preparing, repairing or maintaining a voting machine; and must be willing to attend mandatory training before each election.
They should have reliable transportation to and from training and the polling place and be comfortable working with a personal computer system. Poll workers assist in setting up and closing the polling place and help voters understand their rights and the voting process.
