Volunteer as an Election Day Deputy Warden

The Town Clerk of Chelmsford, Onorina Maloney, is recruiting residents to preserve the democratic process by helping out on election day.

We have an amazing and hectic Presidential election next month. We are in need of passionate, energetic individuals to work the whole day as Deputy Wardens. The hours would be from 6 am until possibly 10 pm (or later). We are also in need of energetic poll workers to work either the full or half day.

Yes, it is a long day; however, it is one of the most exhilarating experiences to be part of the ultimate democratic celebration.

I will have training on October 23, just for Wardens and Precincts Clerks and on October 25 for the Poll workers.

Please let me know if you are interested, and if any of your co-workers, or volunteers are interested. My goals is to have any individual fully trained and be able to commit to this election and to future elections.

Thank you very much.

Gratefully,

Onorina Z. Maloney, CMMC
Town Clerk
