USA TODAY Seeking General Election Night Stringers across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire

Location: Positions available across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
Date: Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Hours: 15 minutes before polls close until final results are released
Pay: $125 for the evening.

Job Description:

USA Today Stringers are a valuable part of our election results collection operation. As a stringer, your main responsibility is to report results to USA Today via the web using your smartphone. In some cases, phone calls may be necessary instead. Results will be released by election officials periodically, and stringers will upload the new results as quickly and accurately as possible after receiving the update. They will also remain on site to answer any questions USA Today may have about when or how results are being released. This position typically takes around 4 hours but could go longer, and stringers should be prepared to stay until the election official indicates that no more results will be released this evening, or until your coordinator dismisses you. There will be a short but mandatory training, as well as a rehearsal, prior to election day that will cover how to report results, how to interact with officials, and how to get paid. Potential for becoming a regular election night stringer in your area is very high, so long as the job is done well.

Requirements: Smartphone, transportation, ability to quickly and accurately record results to report.

If interested, please send an email to your state’s coordinator with your name, phone number, and zip code:

Connecticut – Trinity Conner, tconner@usatodayco.com
Maine – Ryan Guistwite, rguistwite@usatodayco.com
