  • Checking identification of electors attending to vote
  • Finding and marking the electors on the register of electors and Corresponding Numbers List
  • Issuing ballot papers

Before polling day, all Poll Clerks must attend one of the 90 minute in person training sessions.

No previous experience is required.
