Be An Election Judge!

>Rockville Central friend Brigitta Mullican reminds us that TODAY is the deadline to register to vote in the party primaries (which take place February 12), but that the Montgomery County Board of Elections need elections judges. (More information on the need for election judges can be found in the recent Gazette article.)

According to Brigitta:

“The article states ‘Republican judges is the issue,’ but it does not state that the registered voter of other parties such as Green, Libertarian, unaffiliated, or other may work as election judges. Those voters are fewer in Montgomery County and get less attention, but should not be forgotten. They need to know they may volunteer to work as an election judge if they meet the registration requirement and have successfully completed the judges training. The judges receive a small pay check for their service, which is a long day.”

As for registering, Brigitta also passes along this important information:

“Because of the short time citizens must go to the Twinbrook Office to turn in the completed registration application. Here is the link for the registration form.”

Registered Montgomery County voters interested in working as an election judge for the February 12 Primary Election may contact the Board of Elections:
