Cook County Clerk David Orr encourages suburban Cook County voters to serve their communities and earn some money by working as election judges and equipment managers in the November 8th, 2016 Presidential Election. The need is especially great among Cook County’s north and northwest suburbs. There are two positions available: Election Judge and Equipment Manager. Both assist voters and ensure the polling place is running smoothly. Equipment managers have greater responsibility for setting up and maintaining the voting equipment. Because of the additional responsibility, equipment managers receive more training and higher pay. Communities which particularly have a need for poll workers include: Barrington, Des Plaines, Glencoe, Glenview, Kenilworth, Morton Grove, Niles, Northbrook, Northlake, Park Ridge, Rolling Meadows, Skokie, Streamwood, Wheeling, Wilmette, and Winnetka. Election judges representing both parties –Democrat and Republican- are needed. If you would like to apply, call 312-603-0970 or visit cookcountyclerk.com/judges.
