Election Commissioners wanted

[bluedonkey]

This came in my 'freeuse' mail.Anybody in EBP interested?


" I'm an elections commissioner in southeast Baton Rouge, and several
weeks ago I got a letter from the Clerk Of Court's Office asking me
to ask my family, friends, and neighbors if anyone is interested in
serving as an elections commissioner in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Over the past two years, the number of available commissioners to
work elections has dropped, which makes it difficult to ensure that
there are enough workers at each precinct on election days.

I've been a commissioner for six years, and it is a rewarding
experience. Not only have I witnessed "democracy in action," but
I've also met many of the people in my neighborhood at the polls.
Although it is a long work day (5:30 am to 8:30 pm) you do get paid
for it ($100) and most of the work is sedentary.

Commissioners need to be at least 18 years of age and registered to
vote in East Baton Rouge Parish. They also need to attend a one-
night training class in August, and should have never been convicted
of an elections-related offense.

If you are interested in becoming a commissioner, call the Clerk of
Court's Office at 295-4765, or email the Elections division at
[e-mail]

I'm also happy to answer any questions anyone might have about
serving as a commissioner - I'm at [e-mail] "

Thanks,

1. I do this too!

I am an election commissioner in North LA.
I don't know if it is statewide but they opened it up to 17 year olds this year.

You must have a commission to be a poll watcher as well, training doesn't take long and the test is easy.

Get Ready!! I have never seen any problems but I am there and you should be too!!
