Voters registered in Michigan can serve anywhere in Michigan and 16 and 17 year-olds can also serve. Poll workers receive training and get paid for their work. 

In addition to Detroit, the following cities are still in need of poll workers for the August primary: Flint, Dearborn Heights, Pontiac, Southfield, Ypsilanti (City), Burton City, Portage City, and Comstock Township

Without an adequate number of poll workers, voters will be at risk of being disenfranchised.  For more information see https://www.michiganvoting.org/be-a-poll-worker.
