Republican Poll Workers and Special Voting Deputies


Overview

Wisconsin election laws allow the two majority parties (Republican and Democrat) to nominate qualified members to serve as poll workers and Special Voting Deputies (SVDs) in county municipalities for a two-year term. Poll workers are paid by the municipality in which they work. You may apply with municipal clerks starting immediately.

Key Deadline

The names of partisan nominees for poll worker and SVD positions must be submitted by the Chairman of RPSC (Republican Party of Sheboygan County) to municipal leaders and municipal clerks by November 30, 2025.

2026-2027 Election Schedule

  • Two spring elections
  • The 2026 fall election
  • The primaries preceding each election

Returning Poll Workers

If you served as a Republican poll worker in the last two-year cycle, contact your municipal clerk to confirm whether you need to reapply. Then respond to RPSC so we can resubmit your name as a Republican poll worker or SVD.

First-Time Poll Workers: What to Expect

  • Nomination: You will be nominated by the Chairman of RPSC to be a City of Sheboygan poll worker—or, if you prefer, for the municipality of your choice.
  • Qualifications: You must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Sheboygan County.
  • Application: Complete a job application with your chosen municipality. For the City of Sheboygan, apply to the City Clerk at 828 Center Ave. Applications are accepted immediately.
  • Training: Once hired, the municipal clerk will direct you to the required training sessions at the appropriate time. Contact the RPSC if the municipal clerk does not acknowledge receipt of your application.
  • Assignment: You will receive a polling location and assigned hours. In some cases, you may choose to work a full day or a half day.
  • Duties: Work with municipal clerks to help elections run smoothly and observe the day’s activities on behalf of RPSC.
  • Next Step with RPSC: Notify RPSC so we can submit your name as a Republican poll worker. Please specify the municipality in which you are applying.
