The Nevada County Elections Office is recruiting staff to support the June 2, 2026 Election with paid opportunities available for both full-time temporary staff and short-term Vote Center workers.

There are two types of positions available – temporary election employees and Vote Center workers. 

Temporary election employees work full-time for approximately 60 to 75 days with some positions beginning as early as April. These staff members assist with equipment preparation, voter registration support, ballot processing and other essential election operations in the weeks leading up to Election Day and with the certification process afterward. 

Vote Center workers can serve up to 10 days leading up to Election Day, June 2 , with some positions serving three days before and some on Election Day only. Vote Center workers help check in voters, issue ballots, and ensure a smooth and secure voting experience for the public. 

No prior experience is required. Paid training will be provided.
