New Poll Workers / Poll Inspectors

Thank you for expressing interest in becoming a Board of Elections (BOE) Poll Inspector. It is civic-minded individuals like yourself that assist the BOE with protecting the franchise of voting while putting on fair and secure elections for the voters of Broome County.

For more information on poll workers / poll inspectors - click here or call the office at 607-778-2172.

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. You will be compensated for attending these training classes and passing the certification test.
