About the Elections Tab
The Elections tab is the first page an admin user sees upon a successful log in.
The Election Workers Portal gives you access to all functions pertaining to election workers, Early Voting workers, and workers at non-voting election centers. It's your starting point for maintaining information on temporary election workers, their work schedules, training, and payroll.
When using the Election Workers Portal, make sure you have selected the correct election, as any work assignments or work will be applied to the selected election.
