Ms. Kristina Nichols, the Voter Logistical Coordinator, from the Office of Harris County Clerk (Diane Trautman), has requested teachers share the following information with our students:
"As a reminder, the Harris County Clerk’s office is encouraging students across Harris County to apply to work in the upcoming March 3, 2020 Democratic and Republican Party Primary Elections. We encourage students to apply by our priority deadline of January 31, 2020. Students that meet this deadline are more likely to be placed at a location close to their house as well as have first pick of training classes. We ask that all interested students apply no later than Friday, February 14, 2020.
When students serve on Election Day they receive:
I’ve attached a FAQ sheet as well as the permission form your students need to complete should they be interested in working. The application form is also available online here. In addition, should there be any speaking opportunities in your classrooms, a member of our Outreach staff will be available to provide information.
On behalf of the Harris County Clerk, I greatly appreciate any support you lend to spread the word about student poll worker opportunities for the upcoming election."
