Poll Worker Training Materials

It is Town of Greenwich policy that everyone in town facilities must wear masks and town employees must be vaccinated.

Please note Moderators will not be providing food to poll workers. Please bring enough food and drinks to get you through the day. All poll workers will be paid $15 extra to cover this expense.

Poll workers are provided with Training Materials appropriate to their positions. In addition, the Secretary of the State produces a poll worker manual, Moderator's manual, absentee ballot manual, and others.
