Cook County seeks election judges, equipment managers

Election judges and equipment managers are needed to serve throughout suburban Cook County for the April 4 consolidated election, Cook County Clerk David Orr has announced.

Applicants must complete the required training, set up the voting equipment the night before Election Day and serve from 5 a.m. until the results are transmitted and the equipment has been packed on election night.

Equipment managers have greater responsibility for setting up and maintaining the voting equipment. They earn $340, while election judges earn $190.

Anyone who wishes to serve is encouraged to apply soon, so they will have time to take part in training classes.

Prospective Election Day workers can apply online at: cookcountyclerk.com/judges or by calling (312) 603-0970.
