Sample Election Forms
September 2016
Before 7 a.m. on Election Day, all election workers, including the Presiding Election Judge, must repeat aloud the oath at the top
left side of the form. This constitutes being sworn in. If other clerks arrive later (split shift) they must also do the same.
Each election worker receives their own Statement of Compensation and Oaths form. The Presiding Election Judge must sign each
Statement of Compensation and Oaths form.
In the event an election worker does not meet the eligibility requirements, the Presiding Election Judge should call us immediately
if needing our assistance in finding eligible workers to assist you.
After checking eligibility requirements, each worker must complete his/her own Statement of Compensation and Oaths form. Be
sure all information requested is provided. We cannot process payroll without a Social Security number. Please be sure to provide
your email address and telephone numbers in the event questions arise and we need to contact you.
