What is a Polling Place Administrator?
Polling Place Administrators are assigned by the Chicago Board of Elections to assist the Judges of Election. They receive extensive training in the operation, set up and trouble shooting of electronic voting equipment. They are assigned to polling places, which in some cases, may have multiple precincts. The Polling Place Administrator is not an election judge, but rather provides technical support to the polling place on Election Day.

If you would like to work in a polling place in the City of Chicago you should submit an application to serve as a Polling Place Administrator. Your training(required) will be provided by the Chicago Board of Elections. You will be assigned to a polling place in Chicago, and you will be paid by the Chicago Board of Elections.
