County election departments are recruiting temporary workers to staff poll sites during the Aug. 19 primary and the Nov. 4 general election. Pierce County pays $120 for the day; King pays $125.

“Any help in recruitment will be appreciated. We plan on having close to 650 workers help carry out the primary,” Pierce County Auditor Pat McCarthy said.

King County said last week that it still needed 700 people to finish filling nearly 4,000 poll worker positions.
