    POLL WORKER’S CODE OF CONDUCT

    Poll workers and election inspectors hold highly visible positions of public trust. They must
    conduct their business in an environment and in a manner that favorably reflects the values of fairness,
    accessibility, accountability, effectiveness, and responsiveness. Poll workers and election inspectors
    should, at all times, uphold and increase the public trust and confidence in Michigan’s elections, reflect
    the highest degree of integrity and demonstrate commitment to each principle of this code.

    1. I will not use or attempt to use my position to secure unwarranted privileges for others or
    myself.
    2. I will carry out my responsibilities as a poll worker or election inspector in a timely, diligent,
    and courteous manner. I will not harass, threaten, retaliate against or disparage other poll
    workers, election inspectors or clerks, or anyone associated with, or doing business with the
    local clerk.
    3. I will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, or other
    protected group.
    4. I will provide impartial treatment to all persons with whom I interact during the course of my
    work as a poll worker or appearing at a precinct.
    5. I will not divulge to an unauthorized person, confidential information acquired in the course
    of my employment in advance of the time prescribed for its authorized release to the public.
    6. I will not in any manner make known to anyone the results of the votes as they are being
    counted until after the polls have closed.
    7. I am free to participate in political activities while not serving as a poll worker, but will not
    use or appear to use my position as a poll worker in connection with such activities.
    8. I will not express my personal political opinions to other poll workers, voters, challengers,
    poll watchers and/or members of the general public while present in the precinct or during
    the hours of my employment as an election inspector.
    9. I shall not represent my personal opinion as that of the local clerk, the jurisdiction where I
    serve, or any other election official.
    10. I will use the resources, property, and funds of the local clerk judiciously and solely in
    accordance with prescribed procedures.
    11. I understand that if I fail to follow this code of conduct or the direction of the clerk of the city
    or township in which I am serving, or if I violate any duties imposed on me by the Michigan
    Election law, the clerk or their designee has the authority to dismiss me from my
    employment.

    I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States and the
    constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of inspector of
    elections according to the best of my ability.
