The Office of the Supervisor of Elections is seeking to add to its pool of prospective elections officers and is inviting interested persons to submit applications for consideration.

Supervisor of Elections, Ms. Scherrie Griffin said persons must be a registered voter and remain politically impartial to be eligible. Ms. Griffin also noted that interested persons should have a courteous disposition, be able to work long hours, and be available for training.
