Mississippi circuit clerk offices will pay eligible registered voters to work at voting precincts on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.
The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office and county circuit clerks are accepting applications for poll workers. Applicants must be registered to vote in the county where they apply. Pay ranges from $115 to $200 depending on the county. Some counties may also pay poll workers to attend training sessions, which they must attend before working on Election Day.
Mississippians can apply to work the voting polls on the Mississippi Secretary of State’s website.
Mississippi Votes, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) and the Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign are also paying and training non-partisan poll monitors “to observe polling places, identify barriers, and assist voters, particularly in communities that historically face challenges in accessing the ballot box,” an Oct. 14 press release from Mississippi Votes says. Participants must attend one of nine training sessions ahead of Election Day, Nov. 5, as well as be present at a voting precinct all day on Election Day. Interested volunteers can register for training at this link.

Mississippians will vote for presidential, congressional, judicial and regional offices on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. Any eligible registered voter who registered to vote in person by Oct. 7 or had their voter registration application postmarked by Oct. 7 can cast a ballot in the general election.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Contact your local circuit clerk or election commissioners for polling place information. Voters must bring an accepted form of photo ID to the polls; if they do not have an accepted form of photo ID, voters can get a free voter ID from their local circuit clerk before Election Day.
