There also are resources to help students learn about the process and register to vote.
Consider becoming a poll worker
Our democracy thrives when we all participate. In addition to voting and talking to others about the importance of voting, you might want to serve as a poll worker. If your district will be closed for Election Day, the process is even simpler, but any New Jersey public school employee is entitled to a state holiday, even if your district is not closed. Election Day is a state holiday in New Jersey.
Poll workers are paid $300 on Election Day. You can apply to serve as a poll worker in New Jersey if you:
- Are a United States citizen and a resident of New Jersey.
- Are a registered voter in the county in which you reside.
- Are not running as a candidate in this election.
- Are at least 16 years of age. College and high school students are encouraged to apply.
Note: Those under 18 years of age will work limited hours per shift and do not have to be registered to vote. Contact your County Board of Elections for further information. You can find your county’s information at njelections.org.
