Judge of Elections & Inspector of Elections


For each voting precinct, there is one Judge of Elections who is elected to a four year term. The Judge of Elections is responsible for receiving the ballot box from the County the weekend before the Election, for swearing in Election Officers at the beginning of the day, for overseeing the conduct of the Election, and for making a determination when a question arises.

There are two Inspectors of Elections who are each elected to a four year term—one from each party. The Inspectors assist the Judge in the conduct of the Election. Each Inspector is also assisted by a Clerk. Conduct of the Election includes verifying and signing in voters, recording names of voters, presenting ballots to voters, and handling questions and special situations as they arise.

The positions of Judge and Inspectors are on the ballot at the same time. The current terms of office expire at the end of 2017 and so these offices will next appear on the ballot at the beginning of the year 2017. A new four-year term of office would begin in 2018 for those who are elected in 2017.

Judges need 10 signatures and inspectors 5.

Signatures must be from your ward and party.

On the shooting of Congressman Scalise

So much happened in these past two weeks since we’ve seen you last, but I want to take a moment to talk about the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise and 4 others at the republican congressional team’s baseball practice in Alexandria, VA on Wednesday morning. I think I speak for everyone in this room and for Cumberland Valley Rising when I say that we condemn this violent and cowardly attack, and that our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during their long road to recovery, both physical and emotional. Sadly, this episode is one in a long line of violent attacks born out of the increasing political and cultural polarization over the past several years. It is not an isolated incident—this is NOTHING NEW. We condemn this attack. Just as we condemned the stabbing of three brave men in Portland a few weeks ago, who intervened on behalf of two young Muslim women who were being attacked by an Islamophobe. This attack resulted in the death o...
