Stat. 2048.21, subd. 2 under the direction of the Election Manager to serve as members of the Hopkins Absentee Ballot Board. Overview State Statute requires that Election Judges for precincts in a municipality be appointed and their wages be fixed by the governing body of the municipality. The Chair Judges have served as election judges previously and have been chosen for their experience. The Chair Judges have been involved in choosing the precinct team. Training is provided for all appointed election judges. The Absentee Ballot Board will be accepting, rejecting, duplicating and tabulating the absentee ballots here at City Hall. In essence, six new precincts are created for the absentee ballots. They will be tabulated and totaled separately. Hennepin County will also establish an absentee ballot board. The Hennepin County Board will process all overseas and military ballots as well as those of Hennepin County residents that walk into the Center to vote by absentee. Some of those voters will also be Hopkins residents. By processing these ballots on site, the County will not have to worry about transporting absentee ballots nor about time constraints. Supporting Documents • A copy of Minnesota Election Laws is available for review in the City Clerk's office. • A list of persons to be appointed to the position of Election Judge is attached (Election Judges - 2010).
