Speak A Second Language? LA County Is Hiring Election Workers

LOS ANGELES, CA — Los Angeles County is recruiting bilingual community members to work at Vote Centers during the general election, county election officials announced.

Election workers help open and operate vote centers, assist voters and support the voting process throughout the election period, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office.

The county is particularly seeking people who speak English and one of several high-need languages, including Japanese, Korean, Khmer, Chinese, Tagalog, Thai, Armenian, Farsi, Vietnamese, Russian, Gujarati, Urdu, Hindi, Lao and Mongolian.

“Election Workers are essential to delivering an accessible voting experience across LA County,” Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan said. “We encourage bilingual community members to join our team to serve their community in a meaningful way, assist voters in their preferred language, and help every voter participate in the democratic process with confidence.”

Election Workers receive training before the election and can earn up to $1,080 during the election period.

An additional stipend is available for bilingual workers who can speak, read and write in one of the county's supported languages.
