Barton County Election Officer Donna Zimmerman says the County is still in need of workers for next Tuesday’s primary election. The poll workers will receive over $100 for their day that starts at 6 a.m. on August 7.

Zimmerman says a voting board worker is needed in Great Bend, Claflin, Pawnee Rock, rural Barton County, and two are needed in Ellinwood.

Duties include: set up polling location for voters, check in voters and obtain voter signatures in poll book, operate voting machines, issue ballots to eligible voters, and provide voting instructions to voters.

A supervising judge will earn $135 per day while all other board workers will receive $115 per day.
