Please find below a communication from the SC Election Commission. Poll
Managers are needed across the state to support the upcoming Statewide
Primaries on June 9. Agencies are encouraged to share this information with
their employees and encourage employees to share this opportunity with family
members, friends and neighbors who are interested in an opportunity to serve a
critical role on election day and earn extra income.
If state employees are interested in serving as Poll Managers, agencies are
strongly encouraged to allow employees to take leave to serve as a Poll Manager
if agency operations and the employees' job duties permit it.
Thank you!
All the best,
Karen Wingo
