Certain county vote centers are in need of those who speak both English and Laotian, but the county is also seeking bilingual workers who speak Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Somali and Persian (Farsi and Dari).

Workers will receive a daily stipend of $145 for each day of service between Oct. 26 and Nov. 4. Election Day poll workers will receive a stipend of $240.

Due to the need for foreign-language assistance, those designated as bilingual workers will receive an additional $5 per day, and $10 for Election Day coverage.
