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 be able to read, write, and speak English in order to serve as an election judge. Students 16 and 17 years old can be election judge trainees. Election judges can choose to be volunteers or be compensated for their service.
