SUMMARY: Mississippi faces a pole worker shortage ahead of the presidential election, a problem noted since 2020. Secretary of State Michael Watson emphasizes the importance of recruiting qualified poll workers, who earn up to $200 on Election Day, with a preference for trained poll monitors familiar with election laws and voter rights. While some counties are well-staffed, others struggle with recruitment. Watson plans to address these disparities statewide. Interested registered voters can contact their local election office to sign up for training, which starts on September 3rd.
