Election judges help guarantee the rights of voters are protected on election day.
Anyone eligible to vote who can read, write, and speak English can be an election judge. However, an election judge cannot be a candidate in the election, or closely related to a candidate. Also, election judges cannot be closely related to another judge in the same precinct. The pay is set by the City Council. At least minimum wage is required, unless the individual judge volunteers to serve unpaid.
