GRANVILLE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS: Poll Workers in Granville County will receive a pay increase  beginning with the 2023 municipal elections. The Granville County Board of Commissioners approved a  recommendation from the Granville County Board of Elections to increase the pay rate for Poll Workers by  approximately 25% in the upcoming fiscal year budget. This increase will take pay to $11.50 per hour for Poll  Workers and $13 per hour for Poll Workers in Charge. Additionally, the Board of Commissioners approved the  implementation of overtime pay for Poll Workers who staff the One-Stop Early Voting locations in Granville  County. 

“Poll Workers are critical to ensuring that Election Day and One-Stop Early voting runs smoothly in Granville  County,” said Board of Commissioners Chair Russ May. “We listened to the feedback from the Board of Elections  and their staff and understand the challenges they face in recruiting Poll Workers each election cycle. Hopefully,  this pay increase for Poll Workers will help ease the burden and show our appreciation for the valuable service  these individuals provide.” 

“In my view, the Board of Commissioner’s decision to increase the pay for Poll Workers is a recognition of their  dedication and hard work and an acknowledgement that Poll Workers are essential to the Granville County Board of Elections mission,” said Board of Elections Chair James A. Wall, Sr. “On behalf of the Board of Elections  and our dedicated staff, I would like to thank the Board of Commissioners for recognizing this need and showing  their dedication to our mission.”
