Washoe County needs more election workers this year than ever before. Assistant Registrar of Voters Heather Carmen says, “We do have a big need for the primary election and the general election,” adding the legislative changes of same day registration and ballot drop off at in-person locations have changed the number of workers needed. In the past, the county has hired about 120 workers for early voting. But this year, they need nearly 500 and another 600 for election day.
