*Note: Attendance at a Training Session does not guarantee that you will work as a Poll Worker. It does, however, place you in the prospective Poll Worker group to be considered for future elections. If you retired from an FRS employer less than one year ago, working as a Poll Worker may jeopardize your FRS pension. Contact the Florida Retirement System at 1-866-446-9377 to verify how working as Poll Worker will affect your FRS benefits.
