I'm not surprised that you forgot. We don't have to sign anything at the end of the election day to get paid any more. There used to be paperwork to do for that and then they'd send our checks out the next time the county commissioners signed checks, usually weeks later. People often forgot to do the paperwork and people were annoyed at how long it took to get paid. Now they make up the checks for the people they expect to be working ahead of time and actually deliver them when they come to check on how things are going during the day and then we joke for a while about how we can all leave since we've been paid. In general, I don't think getting paid provides much motivation for working at our elections. $100 for over 14 hours of work with no real breaks is not exactly good pay.
