Election workers, precinct inspections, poll workers, and sometimes other not so nice references are just a few of the names used to describe the people that are working at your precinct on Election Day. Alpine election workers are trained prior to each election and carry out their election day duties with pride and integrity. They do their job in accordance to State election law and regulations which may clash with the opinions of the public. It's not an easy job and comes with low pay and long hours. Alpine Township appreciates all the work done by past and present election workers.
