The Sonoma County Registrar
of Voters has implemented a "Student Precinct Officer Program."
California State law allows eligible students to be appointed to
serve as Precinct Officers. As such, students will participate in
the operation of a polling place on Election Day. We are requesting
that teachers/counselors nominate qualified students to serve as
precinct officers for Elections.
What
are we asking teachers and counselors to do?
What
will the Student Precinct Officers be expected to do?

of a 4 or 5 person Board and participate in the operation of a polling
place on Election Day under the supervision of experienced Precinct
Officers.

about their Election Day experience.

as assigned by the Inspector including, but not limited to - finding
voters' names on the Precinct Index, have voters sign the Roster,
Issue Official Ballot Card(s), deposit voted ballots into the ballot
box, set up, clean up and assist in any way possible.
NOTE:
Election Day hours are long - 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. - but it is a great
experience
