“You must be a registered voter in Hamilton County,” County Clerk Kathy Williams said. “The jobs do require some training, but they are paid. As are meals. Plus, it’s a great way to learn more about our democratic system and give something back to your community.”

Hamilton County is still looking for Republican Inspectors. These people are in charge of the precinct and must attend a training session on one of the following days: April 26 at 6:30 p.m., April 28 at 6:30 p.m., or April 30 at 9 a.m. or 11 a.m. Other obligations include picking up supplies on April 30, setting up the polling place on May 2, and working on Election Day. The job pays $200, plus $25 for training and $20 for meals.

The county is also in need of Republican and Democrat judges. This position requires no training. These individuals will help set up the polling place on May 2 and run the polling place on May 3. These jobs pay $105, plus $20 for meals. The Democratic judge will be paid an extra $15 to return election results to the Judicial Center in Noblesville with the Republican Inspector after the polls close.

And finally, the county is in need of Republican and Democratic Clerks to run the electronic polling pads. These people must attend a training on April 23 at either 9 or 11 a.m. The job pays $105, plus $15 for training and $20 for meals.
