$1,250 incentive
Maricopa County hiring workers for 2024 primary election

Temporary workers are being hired for the 2024 primary election, Maricopa County officials said Monday.
More than 2,000 employees are needed for the July 30 election, and in addition to hourly pay, a $1,250 incentive will be available to eligible workers, according to a release.
“Recruiting, processing and training election workers begins long before Election Day,” Jennifer Liewer, deputy elections director for communications, said in a release.
“The voting process depends heavily on the participation of community members to ensure transparent, secure and fair elections.”
In addition to 1,500 poll workers, Maricopa elections officials will need to hire nearly 500 positions to staff operations in support of early voting, tabulation and other functions. The positions include such areas as warehouse drivers, tabulation staff, technical support and more.
Workers must be registered to vote, pass a background check “and have a willingness to work alongside members from all political parties,” the release stated.
“One of the greatest parts of being an election worker is having the opportunity to meet and assist people in your community,” Liewer said. “All employees are trained to do their jobs based on Arizona laws to ensure the integrity of voting in Maricopa County.”
