Livingston County Clerk Kristy Masching needs election judges to staff polling places in November and she says her phone lines are open for anyone interested. Livingston County has 46 precincts and 35 polling places, and Masching says she’s looking for 200 to 230 judges. The goal is to have a larger pool of trained people because things often happen at the last minute on election day and adjustments have to be made.
There is some training that’s required for election judges and the position pays 135 dollars a day. Masching says anyone interested should contact her office at (815) 844-2006 and she or her staff can explain the job.
