City of East Lansing Election Inspector Information
The East Lansing City Clerk’s Office is always seeking civic-minded, qualified citizens to serve as paid election inspectors. Election inspectors must be registered to vote in the State of Michigan or a student (ages 16-17). East Lansing Election Inspectors do not need to be a registered voter in East Lansing – they can be registered anywhere in the state! Election Inspectors must also attend mandatory training (paid) before Election Day. They should be detail-oriented, friendly and able to work at least a half-day shift. Workers are welcome to work a full day if desired!
Payment is as follows:
$20.00/hour for Election Inspectors
$25.00/hour for Precinct Chairs/Co-Chairs (these positions receive extra training)
Shifts are as follows:
6 am - 2:30 pm
2:00 pm - Close (most likely at least one hour past the close of the polls at 8:00 pm)
All Day
Upcoming Election Dates:
August 6, 2024 - Statewide Primary
November 5, 2024 - General Election
We are currently looking to fill numerous positions including for Election Day, Absentee Ballot Counting Board and Early Voting for both upcoming elections.
