The Portage County Board of Elections is looking for individuals who would like to be part of the democratic process by becoming precinct election officials (PEOs). On Election Day, nearly 600 citizens are needed to staff 129 precincts. Without PEOs, elections cannot be held. They are present to ensure our elections are fair, impartial, and conducted according to Ohio law. To be a PEO, one needs to be registered to vote in Portage County, attend a training class, and have transportation to their assigned polling location. Election Day hours are 5:45am until all necessary work is completed after the polls close at 7:30pm. Those serving as PEOs receive $130. The next election will be the Primary Election held on March 17, 2020, and the Presidential Election held on November 3, 2020. To sign up or for more information, please contact the Portage County Board of Elections at 330-297-3512 or 330-297-3515 or visit their website at www.co.portage.oh.us/board-elections.
