Election Inspectors

Election workers, also known as poll workers, precinct inspectors and election inspectors, are people who are paid to assist voters and count ballots on Election Day.

To be an election worker, you must be a registered voter of the state, or 16-17 years old and a resident of Michigan. An election worker cannot be a challenger, candidate, member of a candidate’s immediate family, or a member of the local board of canvassers. Anyone convicted of a felony or an election crime may not serve. In order to become an election inspector you will need to attend training(s), submit a completed election inspector application to your local clerk, and be appointed by the local city/township board.

Fruitland Township is always looking for more election inspectors. If you are interested in applying or would like more information you can fill out this Election Inspector Application and email it to the Clerk or drop it off during normal township hall hours.
