The City of Northville is recruiting for two different positions on Election
Day:
- Poll Worker

Northville, working the polls from 6 am to approximately 9:30 pm.

The AVCB is comprised of election workers who process and tabulate all
of the absentee ballots. Once processing begins, AVCB workers are
sequestered in City Hall until the last ballot has been processed.
After all ballots are processed, AVCB workers must close out the AVCB,
secure ballots, complete paperwork, and deliver all to the Clerk's
office. This is typically done by 10 pm.

Election Inspectors must be a US Citizen and registered
to vote in the State of Michigan. They must be able to retain and
utilize the information provided during training sessions, work under
the direct supervision of the precinct chairperson, and be proficient
