The April 5, 2011 Election is around the corner and the Cook County Clerk’s office needs more people to work in Evanston precincts on Election Day.

“This is an opportunity to serve your community, help democracy work and earn a bit of money,” Clerk David Orr said. Election judges make sure polling place operations in suburban Cook County run smoothly and elections are carried out fairly, honestly and accurately. Election judges are responsible for supervising the conduct inside polling places and helping voters.

Election judges can receive up to $170 every election. This includes working Election Day, successfully completing their training and assisting with polling place set-up before Election Day.
