Paid Mississippi Election Results Reporter - Stringer

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, with the potential to become a regular stringer in future election night operations.

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. Stringers should be prepared to stay until the election official indicates that no more results will be released that 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 contact Andrew Jones at AJones@USATodayco.com and include your name, phone number, 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.
