Every year, (VA) Fairfax County's Office of Elections hires thousands of people to work the polls on the days when there are primaries (in June) and Election Days (in November).  

The pay is $175 per day, but I view this an helping democracy work the way it was intended.  As an election officer, you set up the equipment needed for people to vote, you check their ID to ensure that they are eligible to vote, and you give them instructions on how the machines work, etc.

Best,

Louise
