Resolution Appointing Election Judges for
the 2014 Primary and General Elections
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2014-031 appointing
Election Judges for the State Primary Election on August 12, 2014 and for the General Election
on November 4, 2014.
Overview
MN Statute 204B.21, Subd.2 provides that election judges for precincts shall be appointed by the
governing body of the municipality and that the appointments be made at least 25 days before the
election at which the election judges will serve. Election judges are assigned to precincts based
on availability, party balance and the number required for each precinct. The number of judges
assigned to the precinct is determined by the number of registered voters in it and the history of
new registrations. Although a party balance is required at each precinct to perform certain tasks,
legislation was passed allowing qualified election judges to serve without affiliation to a major
political party. The resolution contains the names of those who indicated a willingness and
ability to serve as an election judge, and appointment by the City Council will allow the judges to
serve for both the Primary and General Election. In addition, Hennepin County will be acting on
behalf of the City of Hopkins as a part of our Absentee Ballot Board so they are also named in
the appointing resolution.
In Hennepin County, each city is responsible for training their election judges. To accommodate
this, a total of four 2 �/z hour paid training sessions are scheduled for the election judges and two
additional 1 hour training sessions for chair and co-chair judges. There will also be training for
the absentee ballot board and the healthcare election judges.
Election expenses for the judges are included in the adopted 2014 budget. Election judge hourly
pay is as follows: $9.50 Election judges, $10.00 for Co -Chair judges and $10.50 for Chair
judges.
