Election Inspectors The Wisconsin Elections Commission encourages all private citizens to vote and to become involved in the election process. One of the most rewarding ways to do this is to become an Election Day poll worker, also known as an election inspector). The Chief Election Inspector is in charge of the polling place, and has additional training requirements. Citizen involvement is essential to conduct open, accurate and fair elections in Wisconsin. We hope that you will consider participation in one of these positions. What are the responsibilities of an Election Inspector? Election Inspectors are responsible for administering election procedures at a polling site on Election Day. Duties can include issuing ballots to registered voters, registering voters, monitoring the voting equipment, explaining how to mark the ballot or use the voting equipment, or counting votes. Other positions at a polling place include a greeter who assists with answering questions and directing voters to the registration or voting area. Will I be Compensated? Yes. Election Inspectors are compensated to attend a training classes when available and for service on Election Day. You will also be provided a meal and refreshments during your shift worked. What is the Time Commitment? Inspectors work either from 6:45 a.m. until 2:00 pm or 1:45 pm until the completion of their duties (approx. 9:30 p.m., but varies depending on election). Inspectors are appointed for a two-year term and will not necessarily be called upon to work all elections. What are the qualifications to be an Election Inspector?
