In a recent government meeting, officials confirmed a unanimous vote of 28 to 0 on an undisclosed matter, highlighting a strong consensus among the supervisors. The meeting also featured a significant announcement regarding the urgent need for poll workers in the upcoming election season.
Supervisor Pagonis, who is transitioning to a new role, emphasized the importance of community involvement in the electoral process. He shared insights from an informational session he attended, where it was made clear that poll workers are critically needed. The supervisor noted that the training required to become a poll worker is minimal, consisting of just a two-hour session, with multiple training events scheduled throughout October.
Additionally, Pagonis mentioned that poll workers would be compensated at a rate of $8.50 per hour, which is above the minimum wage. However, he clarified that those interested in becoming election supervisors must have participated in two elections prior to qualifying for that role.
The meeting concluded with a call to action for community members to consider becoming poll workers, reinforcing the message that their participation is vital for the electoral process.
