BECOME AN ELECTION WORKER!

Are you interested in serving as an election worker?

Please complete the interest form below.  

The Macomb County Clerk's Office is continuing our successful FREE "Election Inspector Training Series" for people interested in becoming election inspectors. 

Once you sign up with Macomb County Clerk's office, you will automatically be added to our email list and be notified of all our upcoming training dates.  After you complete one (or more) of our trainings, we will work with our 24 city and township clerks to try place you as an election inspector in a community that has that need.

We compare our training series to a college education: we give you the training and skills necessary to get a job and we even help with job placement!

Each of Macomb County's 24 local clerks hire their own workers for each election.  In 2024, Michigan began offering early voting for nine days before statewide and federal elections and some local elections.  This brought the need for a lot of new election workers and we expect that need to continue.

If you are interested, please launch and complete the form below.  If you have questions, please call 586-469-5500.
