Election Night Results Reporter - USA Today Co - Malden

USA Today is looking for stringers to work on election night as election results reporters. This is a contractor position for one night on November 3rd, 2026, and pays a flat fee equal to $125. The assignment is expected to last approximately 2-3 hours, but may extend longer depending on election-night reporting needs. There is potential to become a regular stringer in our election night operations, so long as the job is done well. There are locations available across the state, so even if you don't see your area listed, send an email and we'll be happy to let you know what is closest to you.
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 on Election Night, on 11/3/26. 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 2-3 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. There will be a short training prior to election day that will cover how to report results, how to interact with officials, and how to get paid.

If interested, please respond to this ad with your name, and zip code. Candidates who also send a sentence or two about why they are interested and a good fit for the role will receive priority consideration.
