The primary elections are just around the corner, as there are only 18 days left until democracy is once again exercised through the vote of all citizens on June 7th.
In response, the San Mateo County Assessor-Clerk-Recorder's Office's Registration and Elections Division has announced that it is hiring individuals to serve as Election Materials Couriers.
Couriers are responsible for returning election materials to voting centers and drop boxes throughout San Mateo County on election night, making their work critical to the election system.
The city is offering election material couriers 85 d ares for election night and an additional 15 d ares for attending mandatory training, making a total of 100 d ares for the day.
These employees must be willing to work on election night in order to be paid for training. Additionally, drivers will receive mileage reimbursement of $0.560 per mile—distance calculated from the assignment to the receiving station, not from the work/home location.
It is important to note that these county employees will receive their bonus as part of their next paycheck(s) and their mileage reimbursement as a separate check.
Parent and child teams are possible as long as the assistant is at least 15 years old and the driver is at least 18 years old.

Please note that the Division of Registration and Elections is currently prioritizing applications where drivers and assistants are provided from the same household.
