What are the hours required to work on Election Day?
Election Day is at least a 14 hour work day beginning at 6:00 a.m. Upon arrival at 6:00 a.m. poll workers begin setting up the polling area and at 7:00 a.m. the polls are officially open. Voting hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with any voter in line at 7:00 p.m. having the opportunity to vote. After the last voter has cast their ballot, poll workers begin dismantling the polling area and usually are ready to leave between 8:00 and 8:30 p.m.
