HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Deputy Elections Clerk Jenna Fager said she has the poll workers she needs for the Aug. 2 primary, but they're always looking to add to their list.
"If you are interested in being a board worker, you can always contact our office," Fager said. "We have an application that you can fill out. We'll definitely keep you on file."
How many people staff a polling location depends on how big it is.
"Depending on where we're at, sometimes we'll have five people, sometimes we'll have three people. At the fairgrounds, it's a little bit of a different situation. That's usually five member boards."
If they call you because they think they'll need you in the future, like for the November general election, you have some work to do ahead of election day.
"We do sign you up, we get you scheduled for training and there is a mandatory two hours of training that goes into it prior to each election. We're always looking for people who are willing to work. Usually, people are more interested in working the larger elections, than they are the smaller elections, like the city and schools. That's when we really seem to struggle."
