Election Inspectors

The East Lansing City Clerk's office is always seeking civic-minded, qualified citizens to serve as paid election inspectors. Election inspectors must be registered to vote in the state of Michigan or a student (ages 16-17).

Election inspectors should be detail-oriented, friendly and able to work up to a possible 16-hour day. Payment is as follows:

  • All-Day Workers - $120
  • Half-Day Workers - $60
  • Chairpersons - $180
  • Required 3-hour Training - $10/hour

To apply, please complete the Application for Election Inspectors (PDF) and mail or deliver it to the East Lansing City Clerk's Office at 410 Abbot Road, East Lansing, MI 48823. Individuals who previously worked as an East Lansing election inspector or chairperson do not need to re-apply, but they are asked to email kgardne@cityofeastlansing.com if they would like to sign up again.
