Ramsey County needs 2,000 people to serve as election judges for the 2016 presidential election. Election judges help ensure that eligible voters get to exercise their most basic democratic right - the right to vote.
To be an election judge in Minnesota, one must be an eligible voter and able to read, write and speak English.
Election judges start work at 6:00 a.m. and work until around 9:00 p.m. with breaks given throughout the day. All election judges must complete two hours of paid training before working as a judge.
Election judges are paid $150 for a full day of work. Judges are needed for the primary on August 9 and for the general election on November 8.
