How to become an Election Inspector
Precinct inspectors are people who are paid to assist voters at the polls on Election Day. Registered voters interested in serving as election inspectors must submit an election inspector application to their local clerk. In addition to their name, address and date of birth, applicants must include their political party preference and qualifications to fill the position such as education or experience.
A precinct inspector must be a registered voter of the State. They cannot be a challenger, candidate, member of a candidate’s immediate family, or a member of the local Board of Canvassers. Anyone convicted of a felony or an election crime may not serve.
Submit the Election Inspector Application to the township clerk. The township clerk will be able to answer any questions you have regarding becoming and/or being a precinct inspector. Why not consider helping your community and becoming more politically active by becoming a precinct inspector?
