Anderson County Needs Election Workers
Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer
The Anderson County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections needs you to help ensure the upcoming general election in November runs smoothly and efficiently.
Election workers are in short supply, with many who have served in such positions for decades retiring, leaving many openings at precincts throughout the county.
The positions are paid and training is provided.
The state compensates counties for poll worker wages. The state rate is $60 to attend training and $75 on Election Day, for a total of $135. Poll clerks, who lead each precinct and undergo more training, will get an additional $100. Some counties in South Carolina provide supplemental pay for election workers, but Anderson County does not.
