High School Senior Works Election Day

With the June 3 primary over, our office would like to thank all our poll workers and staff for all the long hours and hard work through the election. We’re giving one of our poll workers an extra thank you.

When most people picture poll workers, they think of “little old ladies.” And it’s true most of our workers are retirees. But our crew is becoming more diverse and on Tuesday we had our first ever high school student work an Election Day. Karalee Smith, a 18 year old Clear Creek Amana senior, put in a 16 hour day at Oxford City Hall.

We hope to add more high school students to our pool of experienced workers for this fall’s general election. Applications are available here. For more information, please contact our office at elections(at)co.johnson.ia.us or 319-356-6004.
