The Office of Elections is currently recruiting voters to serve as Election Officers a few days a year, including the June 17, 2025 Primary election. ( https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/elections/working-polls) .
In 2025. there will be additional elections on June 18th and November 5 (General Election including Presidential).

Bi-lingual voters (particularly those fluent Vietnamese or Korean WITH English) are needed to train as Election Officers to help serve the communities and precincts with voters who's first language is Vietnamese or Korean. *If you live in or near Annandale, Centreville, Falls Church, McLean/Tysons Corner, Mt. Vernon or Springfield, consider applying.

Election Officers are needed at each of the 265 precincts in Fairfax County to run the polls and assist the voters.

In order to be an Election Officer, you must:

  • Be fluent in English
  • Be a registered voter in the Commonwealth of Virginia
  • Be able to fulfill the Federal I-9 employment eligibility requirements
  • Attend a 3-hour training class
  • Arrive at the polling place at 5:00 am and remain until all work has been completed after the polls close at 7pm (9pm on average)
  • Have basic computer skills

The Election Officer’s main priority is to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election process. A typical Election Day consists of:

  • arriving one hour before polls open to set up voting equipment
  • hanging up pertinent signage
  • preparing the polling room for voting
  • processing voters throughout the day
  • assisting with operating voting equipment
  • securing voting equipment and closing down the polling place at the end of the day

Election Officers are offered a stipend of $250 for serving a full day. We especially encourage bilingual citizens to serve as we need language assistance in many precincts. Residency in Fairfax County is not required. It is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in the election process or public service, and we need civic-minded individuals to help make Election Day a success!

To apply, fill and submit the online form at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/elections/working-polls

Note, apply by May 30, 2025 in order to be considered for the June 17, 2025 Primary election.
