Election Judges Needed!
Our office is currently recruiting for Election Judges to work at the polling places on Election Day. The hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. for both Primary and General Election Days. You cannot leave the polling place during Election Day, so you will need to plan for meals. You must work both Elections and attend a mandatory training class.
