Election Judge Recruitment Resources


It takes 30,000 Election Judges to run an election in Minnesota, and in addition to serving the voters of the state, they also learn how elections happen.  Polling places have requirements about a minimum number of election judges, the need for judges from each major political party, and the balance of party-affiliated election judges in the polling place.  Counties and cities work very hard in finding election judges to meet these requirements, and they can use your help!  This page is a set of resources and information on election judge recruitment.
