   If you don't fill out the payroll page you don't get paid for working the polls.
   (Yes, poll-workers in Massachusetts are paid. I think poll-workers get paid in most states. It's minimum wage or a bit higher for the clerks and wardens.)

     The police officer also couriers the box containing the blank ballots and other sensitive items from the local police station to the precinct at the start of the day.

     Roles: each precinct has a warden (chief election officer), clerk (record keeper), and four or more inspectors (worker bees).
     Some precincts also have interpreters in person. Those that don't can use the elections department interpreter line if a voter needs an interpreter.
     Each precinct also has a police officer. They maintain order, courier the ballot box and tabulator to City Hall, staff the check-out table.
