Stand up for Election Integrity -- and Get Paid!   
Every year, thousands of Californians help make it possible for  citizens to 
exercise one of their most fundamental rights -- the right to  vote. This 
year, confusion over ID requirements may result in problems at  the polls. The 
best way to ensure that every voter's rights are respected,  is to be the person 
in charge on Election Day.  
Here in the Bay Area, nearly every county is reporting a shortage of  poll 
workers for the June 6th primary election. By signing up as a poll  worker, you 
can support our democratic system...and get paid at the same  time!  
In order to be a pollworker, you need to be a registered voter in the  county 
in which you live. Stipends range from from $75 to $120 for a day of  work on 
election day. Attendance at a training session prior to election day  is 
generally required, but a stipend is issued for this as well.  
High school seniors age 16 and older are also eligible to work at the  polls 
and receive a stipend, even if they're not yet a registered voter.  Click on 
the links below for more information.  
    *   Alameda County: _Click  here for more information_

call at 510/272-6971.   
    *   Contra Costa County: _Click  here_

    *   San Joaquin County: _Click  here for more information_ 
(http://values.workingassets.com/cgi-bin7/DM/y/jmtC0NjSRx0TDL0BFxb0Es) , or get in touch 
with Stephanie at the San  Joaquin County Registrar of Voters by calling 
209/468-2892.  
    *   Santa Clara County: _Click  here_ 
(http://values.workingassets.com/cgi-bin7/DM/y/jmtC0NjSRx0TDL0BFxc0Et)  and then select the "Volunteer at the 
Polls" link at left, or  just call 408/299-7655. Students should call
