Election Judges

To become a paid Election Judge you must be a registered voter in the state of Maryland. If the total number of Democrat and Republican Judges cannot be fulfilled, we will then consider Unaffiliated voters to meet our quota needed. You may call the Board of Elections for consideration. You must be able to withstand at least a 15 hour day of work and read, write, speak, and understand the English language. You must attend a mandatory training session and be willing to follow instructions concerning election laws and the overall duties of staffing a polling place.

We Need You

The Howard County Board of Elections is seeking motivated people, who can endure long hours (6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.), to work as Election Judges for the upcoming 2008 elections. You can earn $165 as a Check-in, Unit, Provisional or Greeting Judge or $220 as a Chief Judge, per election. An additional $45 (for Chief Judges) and $30 (for all other judges) will be compensated for attending a mandatory training session prior to the Primary Election.
