The Burlington County Superintendent of Elections is reminding voters that hands-on tutorials and demonstrations of the County’s voting machines are once again being offered weekly at the County Corner Store offices between now and the November General Election.
Superintendent of Elections staff will offer the tutorials every Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM at the County Corner Store, 1020 Briggs Road, Mount Laurel. In addition to the voting machine tutorials and demos, the staff will also be available to answer questions and assist with other election-related matters, including registering new voters, updating voter registration information and removing a deceased relative from the voter registration list. Staff will also be available to assist with vote-by-mail applications.
“Voting is a fundamental right, and we are proud to partner with the Burlington County Clerk to make sure voters have all the information they need to exercise that right however they choose,” said Burlington County Superintendent of Elections Dawn Marie Addiego. “Whether you are a new voter registering for the first time, have a question about vote-by-mail or looking for a refresher or practice with the voting machine, our staff will be there to assist.”
This is the second year that the Superintendent of Elections has sent staff and voting machines to the County Corner Store. The tutorials were offered to voters each week before last year’s Primary Election and General Election. In 2025, they were also offered before the Primary Election.
The voting machines consist of electronic ballot marking devices and tabulators. These machines are used during the early voting period.
Voters who are unable to come to the County Corner Store for an in-person tutorial can also familiarize themselves with the voting machines by watching a computer animation video that provides a step-by-step demonstration of how to vote with the equipment. The video is posted on the Burlington County Election and Voter Services page at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/593/Election-Voter-Services .
Become a Burlington County poll worker
The Burlington County Board of Elections is also seeking civic-minded residents interested in serving as poll workers during this year’s General Election.
By law, perspective poll workers must be United States citizens and residents of Burlington County. Poll workers 18 and older must also be registered to vote and declared either a Republican or Democrat.
No experience is needed but mandatory in-person training is required. Poll workers must be available to work Election Day on Nov. 4.
Poll worker duties include unlocking voting machines and equipment, putting out supplies, setting up electronic pollbooks, voter sign-in and processing, assisting voters, closing polls and picking up and returning supplies.
All poll workers will be paid a minimum of $300 for working on Election Day. Poll workers will also receive pay for training, provided they work on Election Day.
“Our democracy depends on free and fair elections, and this is an opportunity for both Democrats and Republicans to serve their communities and help their fellow citizens exercise their fundamental right,” said Burlington County Board of Elections Chair Heather Cheesman.
In addition to being registered to vote in Burlington County, perspective poll workers should be able to read and write legibly and be available to work from approximately 5:15 AM to 8:30 PM on Election Day.
