October 4, 2022 Council Report 2022-089
Resolution Appointing Election Judges and Deputy Clerks for
the November 8, 2022 General Election
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2022-062 appointing
Election Judges and Deputy Clerks for the November 8, 2022 General Election.
Overview
Minnesota Election Law 204B.21 requires that the governing body of the municipality appoint
election judges to administer the polling places at least 25 days before each election. Staff
requests the authority to replace or substitute judges as necessary before Election Day. Election
expenses for the judges are included in the adopted 2022 budget. Election judge hourly rates are
$10.75 for Election Judges and $12.25 for Assistant and Head Judges. In addition, Hennepin
County will be acting on behalf of the City of Hopkins as part of our Absentee Ballot Board so
they are included in our appointing resolution.
Minnesota Statute 203B.121 allows for deputy city clerks to be members of the Absentee Ballot
Board if they have had training in processing and counting absentee ballots. In anticipation of
high numbers of absentee ballots, staff recommends the following city employees and/or
positions be appointed deputy city clerks for the duration of the election season: Administrative
Clerks, Administrative Assistants, Technicians, Management Analysts, Communications
Coordinator and Assistant City Manager. Members of the Absentee Ballot Board are authorized
to receive, examine, validate and count absentee ballots. Two board members work together on
the preliminary accepting and rejecting of absentee ballots.
