Item: Authorize Appointment of Additional Election Judges for the 2022 Primary Election
Council Action Requested:
Approve the attached resolution authorizing appointment of additional persons listed on Exhibit
A as Election Judge for the 2022 Primary Election.
Background Information:
Minnesota State Statute 204B.21 requires that the City Council approves the appointment of
Election Judges for precincts in a municipality. The requirement states that election judges be
appointed at least 25 days prior to the election, but Council can authorize appointment of election
judges within 25 days when additional election judges are needed. As some election judges have
had a change in availability, additional judges are needed for the Primary election.
All election judges meet the qualifications listed in Minnesota State Statute 204B.19.
Financial Impact:
The 2022 Election Budget includes payment of hours served by the Election Judges, $11.00 per
hour for election judges and $12.50 per hour for co-head election judges.
