St. Bernard seeking election commissioners

St. Bernard Parish Clerk of Court Lena Torres said her office is still
seeking commissioners to work polls for the Sept. 30 election. 

Commissioners are paid for assisting in polling places, generally from
before 6 a.m., when polls open, until after the polls close at 8 p.m. 

Anyone interested in serving as a commissioner for the first time can
contact Torres' office at (504) 271-3434 for information on commissioner
school or visit the office in the parish Courthouse on West St. Bernard
Highway in Chalmette. 

Torres urged anyone who has served as a commissioner in the past to get in
touch with her office as well to work the next election. 

The Sept. 30 ballot in St. Bernard will include elections for several local
officials inclucing School Board members, a justice of the peace, and a
constable. It will also include the statewide elections for secretary of
state and insurance commissioner.
