Jane Shepard stamps a ballot application early in the day. m Irene Golec, precinct chairman, opens up shop at 6:35 a.m. Election day means hard work at precincts Running for office may take its toll on active candidates, but there's another group of people for whom elections mean work—and plenty of it. They are the precinct workers and on election days, like Aug 3. they put in long hours at the polls. Election day starts early, at 6:30 a.m.. and if everything goes smoothly, some 15 hours later around 10 p.m. after tabulating the vote, they can expect to go home During those 15 hours, pollworkers are instructed not to leave the polling place— and that means either a brown-bagged lunch, or a sprint by family members to the local burger palace for a cheese burger minus mayo. The job is not entirely charity—workers received $40 for their services and the satisfaction they helped implement one of the privileges, although not exercised by all citizens, of our democratic system WOMEN WHO staffed the polls at Canton's Precinct No. 3 said their main task was to alleviate some of the uncertainty voters face once they pull the curtains shut "The most common problem was that a lot of voters didn't realize they couldn't split the ticket in the primary election." Kathleen Byrd explained "When they found out they couldn't cross party lines, some people became Staff photos by Gary Caskey Poll worker Marie Fefetaki (left) siQns in first voter of the day Ed Vandervennet as Janet L.

You get your chance to split your ticket in November " Another common problem was the fact that many people in Canton vote in one place for school elections and another in township elections. That caused confusion and resentment from many voters, according to poll workers. The staff at the nine precincts were equipped with a map which outlined precinct boundaries. "But I think some people who went to the wrong place got disgusted or didn't have time and just went home." Mrs Byrd said. The workers at Precinct 3 said courtesy was their main concern. "IF SOMEONE has a problem, it's important not to treat them like they're some kind pf jerk for asking a question.'' said Mrs Jean Sheppard "For many of the people, this was the first time they'd voted in Canton Township and the first time they'd used that type of voting machine. I remember how scared I was the first time I voted. So we've done our job if we can put them at ease " While many of the poll workers have strong personal views about the candidates and issues.

"When we are in that polling area we are not to express an opinion, even among ourselves, regarding politics." Mrs Byrd said. "The same thing applies to school elections 1 remember one year I was working at the polls and the precinct chairman said to the poll workers that everyone should be voting in fSvor of the millage. "I was so angry that she expressed her opinion in a polling area." Mrs. Byrd said. ONE OF THE reasons the poll workers signed up for election work is that they believe voting is important. "1 talked to some people and asked them if they voted and they said they never found time for it." explained Mrs Byrd. "Then, when someone gets in office who they don't like, who's to blame 7 ' Mrs. Sheppard said there is no better example of the fact that each person's vote is important than the June 14 defeat of the school millage by one vote. Aside from civic responsibility. Mrs Sheppard admitted that 'the extra money comes in handy." "The pay I received from working at the polls last Tuesday paid for the food for a family get-together for my daughter's birthday." she said, laughing -Li K V * 'd Pvi,,,- Madelyn Plonski hangs a sample ballot before the polls open.
