Maricopa County Elections is running a mass hiring push to fill more than 4,000 temporary paid positions for the Nov. 3 midterm election, with roles available before, during, and after Election Day, according to reporting by KTAR and All About Arizona News.
No previous election experience is required. Applicants must pass a background check and be registered Arizona voters, KTAR reported. The county's Elections Department describes itself as consistently hiring paid temporary workers across a range of functions, from poll workers to truck drivers, to support election administration.
The county runs elections through a shared model split between two offices. The Elections Department handles voting site operations, staffing, and ballot processing, including early voting and mail ballot handling. The Recorder's Office manages voter registration records, mail ballot requests, and signature verification, according to Maricopa County election records.
For Scottsdale and Paradise Valley property owners and business operators, the November ballot will include county and state races that carry direct implications for tax policy, land use, and regional infrastructure spending. The county's hiring page at elections.maricopa.gov lists open positions and application instructions.
