Election judges are responsible for the administration of election procedures in each voting place on election day. Election judges help guarantee that the rights of voters are protected on election day. Become a member of this proud team working to guarantee the election process is fair and in accordance with our laws.
Election judges are vital to efficient and honest elections.
Judges must reside in and be entitled to vote in the County where they serve. State law allows time off from work without loss of wages to serve as an election judge with 20 days prior notice to the employer. Judges work at either or both the Primary election and General election. Appointments are made by the City Clerk, depending on the needs for each election, and approved by the City Council. Each precinct has a voting place staffed by a board of up to 12 election judges.
