The City of Duluth is seeking election judges

[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth continues to seek persons interested in serving as election judges.

Election judges are responsible for the administration of election procedures in the voting place on Election Day. Election judges are trained to handle all aspects of voting at the polling place.  Serving as an election judge is a chance to learn about elections, and is a great service to the community.

You must be eligible to vote in Minnesota and able to read, write and speak English. Students 16 and 17 years-old can be election judge trainees.

There are restrictions on having relatives serve together as election judges. A relative is defined as a spouse, parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, sibling, or stepsibling.

Relatives cannot serve together in the same precinct at the same time. In addition, relatives of a candidate, and anyone who temporarily or permanently lives in the same house as a candidate, cannot serve in the precinct where the candidate is on the ballot.

Candidates cannot serve in a precinct where they are on the ballot.

Those who are interested in serving as an election judge can apply here: https://duluthmn.gov/city-clerk/elections-voter-services/be-an-election-judge/
