In the US poll workers are volunteer positions, as well. In my portion of the country (Southeastern US), they are mostly retired folks. Incidentally, I’ve always been impressed with how friendly and helpful they are, even when the there is much higher voter turnout.

In California poll workers are paid from $100 - $250 for the day depending on the job responsibilities and county.
