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.

There is a shortage of Asian-American election officers.  I'm hoping that you can inform your Asian-American friends and encourage them to consider applying to be an Election Officer either for the primary on June 12 or the general election on November 6, 2018.  

Best,

Louise
