Gov. Murphy Raises NJ Poll Workers Pay from $200 to $300

Along with a $100 raise in Election Day pay, executive order #266 offers an increase in the hourly rate for poll workers. 

The increase aims to incentivize poll worker participation during the early voting period as well as on Election Day. 

Gov. Murphy cited election security as a prime motivator for early voting and the pay raise for poll workers.
