Testimonial:

“To be an Election Day Official is an honor as the Registrar’s Office and the Town Clerk’s Office consider you to be a worthy representative of the Town.  It also represents an obligation as you are expected to be available all day, from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm (maybe a half day if pre-arranged and possible with staffing).

As a resident in Redding for over 40 years, it is an opportunity for me to give back to a Town that has been a marvelous place to live, raise two children, see them through the school system, and now appreciate two grandchildren participating in all sorts of Redding activities.

As an Election Day Official, you have the opportunity to see Redding friends, and even neighbors, with whom you do not interact on a regular basis.  Obviously, your interaction with these people during polling hours is limited to a “Hello, nice to see you!  I hope all is well.” because you are not supposed to be carrying on any sort of conversation with the voters.

But, the positive feeling about doing something for the benefit of the Town and seeing people whom you know during the day is a reward for the long day.  And, you feel that you are contributing to American democracy at work at the local level, which is where it all happens.”
