Election judges are temporary, paid employees of local election officials trained to handle all aspects of voting at the polling place. Election judges represent one of the major political parties in the state. If we do not have enough Republicans willing to serve as election judges, then polling places may only have unaffiliated or Democrat election judges to conduct the elections.

The official Republican Party election judge lists have been sent to the Secretary of State and the County election officials. If you are interested in being an election judge, please contact your local election official (in Kanabec County that would be your city or township clerk).

Poll challengers serve as appointees of the Republican Party of Minnesota and have the ability to make a challenge of voters when they have personal knowledge that someone is ineligible to vote.

Should you be interested in serving as either a Republican Election Judge or Poll Challenger please CLICK HERE and fill out the form on the MN GOP website to help us Protect the Vote! 

If you would like to volunteer with the Republican Party of Minnesota in a different capacity please chose from the options on the form they provide.
