The City of Maple Grove is always in need of individuals willing to serve as an election judge. Election judges help to prepare the polling place, assist with voter registration and absentee ballots, and help close the polls. An individual who is selected to serve as an election judge may, after giving an employer an appropriate written notice at least 20 days in advance of an election, be absent from work for the purpose of serving as an election judge without penalty.
Judges receive training prior to the election and are paid by the City of Maple Grove.
