Both political parties need poll workers for the upcoming primary election, according to County Clerk Sharon Christner.
Poll workers will be expected to attend one of the classes in the Justice Building meeting room next week.
Classes are 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and at 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Training for poll inspectors is at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
All poll workers must take a training class next week because of the number of new election laws and because of the switch to electronic voting machines.
Christner said the classes will take three to three and a half hours.
Poll workers vote absentee and are assigned to a poll location.
Workers arrive at their designated poll location at 5 a.m. May 2 and must be prepared to stay until the polls close and reports are ready to be taken to the clerk's office.
Clerks and judges receive $95; inspectors are paid $115. Meals are included.
