Maryland Election Judges Needed!
Voting in America is every individual's right and civic duty. Election judges play a critical part in the democratic process to ensure this right. This presents a unique opportunity for members of our University community to participate in the democratic process while helping the citizens of Maryland.
Therefore, we are requesting you to consider serving as an election judge in the upcoming elections to ensure that all Marylanders have access to polling stations and are afforded the opportunity to vote without undue delay or interference. Under Maryland law, you can serve as an election judge if you are:
• Age 16 or older
• Are a registered voter in Maryland
• Physically and mentally able to work at least a 15-hour day
• Willing to work outside your home precinct
• Able to sit and/or stand for an extended period; and
• Can speak, read, and write English.
Election judges are temporary, paid employees of local election officials trained to handle all aspects of voting and are responsible for proper and orderly voting at polling locations. Tasks include:
• Setting up the polling location and election equipment
• Verifying voter qualifications
• Assisting voters
• Distributing ballots
• And more!
If you are interested in serving your community and helping to protect the democratic process, visit the State Board of Elections website to sign-up to become an election judge. With the election fast approaching, sign-up as soon as possible.
