New Jersey hopes to attract needed Election Day poll workers by offering to pay them more

People working at New Jersey polling places for the Nov. 2 election are getting pay raises. The increase is intended to attract more poll workers for the next month’s election, which includes the race for governor between incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican Jack Ciattarelli. The raise bumps up the Election Day rate for poll workers to $300, and the hourly rate for people working the New Jersey’s early, in-person voting days to $21.44 per hour.
