Now Recruiting: Seminole County Seeks Election Workers for 2026 Elections 

Paid positions open to new and returning workers. 



SANFORD, Fla. (April 1, 2026) — The Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Office is now recruiting paid election workers for the 2026 election cycle, with opportunities available for both returning workers and first-time applicants. Selected workers will play a critical role in supporting secure, accurate, and accessible elections, and are required to complete training and commit to working a full Election Day shift. 

Supervisor of Elections Amy Pennock emphasized the essential role election workers play in every election:

“Election workers are critical to ensuring every voter has a smooth and secure voting experience,” said Pennock. “We are grateful for those who have served in the past, and we encourage both returning workers and new members of our community to step forward and be part of the 2026 election cycle.” 

Election workers serve in a variety of roles at polling places and early voting sites, assisting voters, managing check-in processes, and helping ensure all procedures are followed in accordance with Florida law. No prior experience is required, and all workers receive comprehensive training before serving. 

“Serving as an election worker is one of the most meaningful ways to give back to your community,” Pennock added. “As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of American independence, there’s no better way to celebrate our country than by helping uphold one of our most fundamental rights - the right to vote.” 

The office is asking returning election workers to confirm their interest in serving again by completing an intake form, which is being mailed directly. New applicants are encouraged to apply and join the election team for the first time on the Elections office's website www.VoteSeminole.gov. 

Election workers are compensated for both training and service on Election Day. All selected workers must be a registered voter in Seminole County, attend required training sessions in advance and be available to work a full Election Day, from before polls open through closing and post-election procedures.
