2. The Election Judges who operate the polling place are an integral part of the electoral process because they are responsible for administering the actual voting procedures in each precinct. Without them, it would be impossible to conduct an election, as they are the primary contact the general public has with the Election Office during voting hours. While no experience is required, knowledge of computers is preferred.

   • Able to lift at least 10-15 lbs.
   • Attend mandatory training class and pass an assessment test.
   • Willing to work outside your home precinct.

   Responsibilities

   • Ensure that qualified voters are able to cast their vote privately in a trouble-free environment.
   • Report promptly for duty and remain in the polling place to complete all tasks after the polls close.
   • Maintain a positive attitude, working together as a TEAM.
   • Be courteous and patient with voters and fellow judges

   Compensation

   Judges will earn a minimum of $250 for each early voting day and/or each election day, plus $50 for the mandatory training course. Judges shall recieve their payment by mail approximately 6-8 weeks following each Election. Compensation for training will not be paid if the judge does not serve on Election Day.
