Become an Election Judge

Election judges are your neighbors! They are the people responsible for administering election processes in the polling places on election day. Would you like to join the team?

Anyone who is eligible to vote and can read, write and speak English can be an election judge. You cannot be a judge if you are a candidate in the election or if you are closely related to a candidate.

If you are working, you can take time off from work to be an election judge. You must give your employer at least 20 days written notice. The City Clerk will prepare a letter for you that details the hours you will work and the hourly pay rate. This form should be attached to the written notice you give your employer. Your employer can reduce your salary by the amount of the compensation paid for being a judge during your hours away from work.

For additional information on becoming an election judge, please contact the City of Mendota Heights at (651)452-1850.
