Lubbock County asking for public help for upcoming election

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Tuesday marks National Voter Registration Day, and Lubbock County is looking for more help.

The county needs poll workers, election judges and clerks this November. Election Administrator Roxzine Stinson said they are lacking critical manpower.

“We still need about 100 folks to sign up,” Stinson said. “We still need eight judges that would represent the Democratic Party, we probably still need a couple of republican judges

The county offers student worker positions as well; students must be at least 16 years old.

“If we don’t have folks to work the polls,” Stinson said, “we won’t be able to open everything like we need to.”

Those who wish to help must be 18 years old and registered to vote. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 7.
