The Hamilton County Board of Elections (BOE) is looking to build partnerships with local public and private entities to assist in providing a skilled workforce at each polling location in Hamilton County on Election Day.
As the election process becomes more technologically advanced, it is critical that poll workers be able to understand and apply these new technologies. Private and public sector employees are an exceptional source of trained, adaptable, and tech-savvy workers to meet this ongoing need. PEOs are trained election workers whose duties include setting up polls and processing voters. PEOs are compensated for training and Election Day work—and county employees may be eligible for both their agency’s daily compensation as well as the Board of Election’s pay, and without having to take a vacation day or LWOP.
Our partner organizations will be acknowledged for their participation on our website and social media outlets.
