I just received a xeroxed blue certificate in the mail:

Go you, you public servant, you!

Based on this non-profit organization's website, it looks like you'll be receiving training from your local Board of Elections on how to run a fair and organized polling station -- nifty! And it also appears that you will receive some sort of pay: "Finally, election board officials receive monetary compensation for their time."

Oooh, thanks. Yeah, The Committee of Seventy is awesome in Philly, but I hadn't been able to find anything too thorough on their site about this particular job. You found the link I'm looking for, it seems.
