CR 2012-071 Resolution Appointing Election Judges for the 2012 Primary and General ElectionsJuly 10, 2012 Council Report 2012- 071 Resolution Appointing Election Judges for the 2012 Primary and General Elections Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2012-044 appointing Election Judges for the State Primary Election on August 14 2012 and for the Presidential General Election on November 6, 2012. Overview MN Statute 20413.2 1, 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 '/2 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 2012 budget. Election judge hourly pay is as follows: $9.50 Election judges, $10.00 for Co -Chair judges and $10.50 for Chair judges.
