Currently hiring two Early Voting/Outreach Assistants in a full-time OPS capacity to work from February 28th through November 23th of 2022.

This team provides all the administrative, training, and leadership support to run 10 early voting locations throughout the county. These team members also help create and monitor social media content and perform voter outreach for the office. Responsibilities of team members will differ between quieter times, peak early voting times, and election day. Team members sometimes cross over into other teams to lend a hand as well as get training in specific topics relevant to early voting.

Shared Duties Include:

• Data entry of voter registration forms and voter transactions
• Preparing and updating databases and reports

Duties related to Social Media and Outreach:

• Managing engagement on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram: understanding communication goals and timelines, creating content, pre-loading schedules for postings, and monitoring public engagement
• Supporting overall communication strategies for voter registration, election information, materials for Spanish speakers, and other initiatives
• Assisting with coordination of media campaigns, press conferences, publications, and other public relations efforts
• Supporting voter registration drives outside of the early voting period
• Some work from home may be required, especially during peak election times with breaking news or rapidly evolving information
• Some work in community settings may be required for voter outreach events (sometimes outdoors)
• Advanced skills with photography, videography, and graphic design would be a big plus

Duties related to Early Voting:

• Recruiting, scheduling, and training early voting workers
• Making small-group training presentations
• Supervising workers and voting activities at one of 10 voting sites in the county
• Assuring laws and procedures are followed
• Communicating effectively and efficiently with co-workers and the general public
• Overseeing daily voting activity and troubleshooting individual voting transactions
• Reconciling daily ballot totals and compiling data reports
• Following and reinforcing security and safety protocols
• Providing conflict resolution, with guidance from the main office
• Serving as liaison with the facility host, rovers, third-party security teams, and the main office

Successful Candidates Will Be:

• Self-motivators
• Creative problem-solvers
• Next-step anticipators
• Multi-taskers and collaborators
• People-oriented
• Action-oriented
• Meticulous with details and follow-through
• Level-headed and consistent

These positions require an insurable driver’s license, a reliable personal vehicle, the ability to spend long periods of time standing or walking (including on concrete floors), and the ability to lift up to thirty pounds.

Roughly two weeks before each election, most team members will be reassigned to one of 10 early voting sites as an Early Voting Clerk. Significant and consistent overtime with ten-hour days, including weekends, during these early voting periods and on election day are required.

This team is a great fit for creative people who enjoy managing dynamic projects with lots of moving parts and would rather stay on the move than be stationed at a desk. This team works nice and steady until it’s time for the adrenaline surge during the early voting period, followed by a huge round of high fives and some solid sleep when it’s complete.

40 hrs/week. Some overtime required. Health insurance available. Position open until filled. EEO/ADA employer.
