Inver Grove Heights' polling locations are staffed by citizens who are appointed as Election Judges.
In 2024 there will be three elections.
In addition to working those days, Election Judge training (paid) is required prior to working in a precinct on Election Day. Multiple training sessions will be offered throughout the year.
Election Judges are responsible for the administration of election procedures in each precinct on each Election Day. Serving as an Election Judge is an opportunity to give back to the community. Throughout each election day you will perform all of the following activities:
To ensure political party balance in each precinct, Election Judges must provide their party affiliation to the City Clerk. (See Supplemental Questions.)
In 2024, Election Judges will be paid a rate of $12.88 per hour. Head Judges will be paid a rate of $15.19 per hour.
Your employer is required to give you time off from work to be an Election Judge without a reduction in pay.* To qualify, you must:
*"Without a reduction in pay" means you get to earn at least the same amount you would have, had you gone to work that day. In practice, this means your employer can ask you to turn over the amount you earn as an Election Judge during hours you would have normally been scheduled to work, or your employer can deduct that amount from your normal pay. You can voluntarily take a vacation day to be fully paid by your employer and receive the Election Judge pay you earn as extra income. An employer cannot force you to take vacation or any other form of paid leave. If requested, the City Clerk will provide a letter identifying the statute that allows for this activity. All Election Judges are required to attend a state-mandated, three-hour elections-training class during every even year. Several training sessions will be conducted by City elections staff at City Hall during the day and in the evening. Head Judges will have an additional two hours of training for a total of five hours. The City Clerk will notify hired Election Judges of the dates and times for training.
The quantity of Election Judges staffed in each precinct depends upon the needs of each election.
