Election Judge Applications Due

Election Judges are appointed to a term. Every two years the terms of appointment for all Election Judges expire. In order to continue to serve every judge must apply for re-appointment. The term expired after the March primary election and all judges should have recently received applications and additional information from the Board of Election Commissioners. Those who wish to continue to serve must now renew.

The longstanding policy of the 49th Ward is to allow those Judges who have been working in a precinct to remain in that precinct if they chose to do so. The second step is to allow current Election Judges to move to open positions if they wish to move. The third step is to fill all remaining open positions with new applicants.

All applications for current Judges to be renewed is Monday, August 16, 2004. At that time any Judge wishing to change precincts must notify me of the request. All moves that are possible will be made that week and applications will be accepted for new applicants beginning Monday, August 23, 2004.
