Election Judges

Do you meet the following requirements?

• Eligible to vote in the State of Minnesota
• Able to read, write, and speak English
• At least 18 years of age
• Not a candidate in the election, and not closely related to a candidate (Election Judges can not be a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of a candidate.)
• Not closely related to an election judge in the same precinct (but can serve in another precinct)

Do you want to:

• Earn $9.00-$11.00 per hour?
• Get involved in the election process?
• Work with the public?
• Do something different than the same old run-of-the-mill stuff?
• Meet lots of people?

If so, you can be an election judge!

What does this involve?

• A two-hour training class (generally held in August)
• Commitment to the Primary election in September
• Commitment to the General election in November
• Judges must be at the polling place at 6:00 a.m. on election day and work until they are finished that evening (usually by 10:00 p.m.). We would prefer people who can commit to the entire day, but we will consider part-time (half-day) help as well.
• If you are an election judge at a place that is not your polling place, you may vote absentee.
• Regular judges are paid $9.00 per hour. Head or co-head judges are paid $11.00 per hour.
