Specifically, for the office of the official poll workers for each and every precinct in the county. Each precinct has one Judge of Elections and two Inspectors of Elections (one Democrat and one Republican). This is a 4 year term which runs from 2018-2022. You’d be signing on, basically, to a three-day per year job, which is a paid position. You’d be at the polling station from before it opens until after it closes on both primary and general election days each year, plus a day of training on how the machine works and your responsibilities at the Bureau of Elections at some point each year.
These are extremely important positions given the increasing challenges and restrictions on voting rights, which are only going to get worse over the next 4 years. If elected you will be an official poll worker during the next presidential election. We need you!
Attached please find a brief job description, as well as list of every precinct and ward in the county listing candidates already on the ballot. As you can see, far, far too many of them are blank.
To get on the ballot as a Write-In candidate, you need as many votes as that office required signatures for the petition. So for Inspector of Elections, you just need 5 write-in votes, and for Judge of Elections, you need 10. You may vote for yourself. If you do not know 4 or 9 additional people in your precinct you can recruit in advance, print a few dozen index cards with the exact name on your voter registration card, and standing *outside* the polling station for a few hours on primary day on Tuesday, ask any voters entering who are registered in your party if they will write you in, and hand them your card.
