CERTIFICATION
New York State Election Law requires that you attend an annual training class and complete a certification test to work the elections.

The BOE has developed an instructional manual, training class and test to ensure you’ll meet that requirement and retain the extensive knowledge and security measures necessary to carry out fair and secure elections at all levels.

We have updated our Poll Inspector Training Manual and it is available online in our Inspector Portal.

TRAINING CLASS
Classes are three hours followed by an exam, so consider bringing water or something to drink with you. These are paid instructional sessions and payment of $25 for attending class and passing the test will be sent after the General Election is certified.

Classes will resume during in July - stay tuned for dates & times!
