Roughly two weeks before each election, most team members will be reassigned to one of 10 early voting sites as an Early Voting Clerk or to multiple sites as a Rover. Significant and consistent overtime with ten-hour days, including weekends, during these early voting periods and on election day are required.

This team is a great fit for creative people who enjoy managing dynamic projects with lots of moving parts and would rather stay on the move than be stationed at a desk. This team works nice and steady until it’s time for the adrenaline surge during the early voting period, followed by a huge round of high fives and some solid sleep when it’s complete.

A great team for those with a meticulous eye for detail, a passion for organizing, and a sense of accomplishment after completing voluminous tasks as well as solving intricate puzzles.

The Operations Team are the quiet heroes in elections administration.

Office hours are 8AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday. Work weeks average 40 hours with some short periods of overtime (rotated among staff members) to meet occasionally unpredictable workloads.

These customer service and data processing rock stars make sure individual voters have what they need to be ready to vote when it’s time to cast their ballot. A great team for anyone who is passionate about accessible elections, loves working with people, has a meticulous eye for detail, and is intrigued by the laws and procedures for the voter registration process.

We are proud to offer 10 locations throughout Leon County that are open for voting for between 9 and 14 days prior to each election. That means we also need a lot of workers to staff these “pop-up” offices in the brief time that they are open for voting.

These workers complete a brief but comprehensive training session and then complete a multi-day assignment for each election. They are paid lump sum for all their training and work shortly following each election. Full-time and part-time shifts are available, and full-timers will be required to work long days and weekends to provide coverage at the sites. Time-and-a-half is paid for any hours over 40 worked in a week. Enrollment in the Florida Retirement System is not included, and health insurance is only rarely available for these positions. While it’s preferred for someone to be available to work all of the elections in a given calendar year, it is not required.

Each early voting site has its own dynamics. Early Voting Workers must be able to provide accurate and friendly customer service, be meticulous with details, and able to handle large rushes of voters as well as long stretches without much activity. Standing for long periods and working outdoors is required.

This team is right at the heart of the action—at the ballot box—and provides the only personal connection many voters ever have with the office. The main ingredients for this team are positivity, helpfulness, patience, accuracy, and a passion for democracy.

Hundreds of poll workers are assigned to work at polling locations throughout the county on each election day. They are required to also complete a brief but comprehensive training program prior to each election.
