Job Finder: Riverside County Registrar's office hiring before busy election night

“Data entry, answering phones, customer service, helping voters at the voting assistant centers, helping them get checked in helping answer their questions about how to use the voting equipment. So we have a wide range of different assignments,” said Spencer.

The county currently needs 1,600 temporary elections assistants. Most will report to the headquarters at 2724 Gateway Drive in Riverside. From there, the new hires will be dispersed to the 120 voting centers throughout the county.
