If you will be age 16 on Election Day, you may work as an election judge trainee, receive training, and be paid for your work.

You cannot be asked to work past 10:00 p.m. You will be assigned the same duties as other judges, with the exception of tasks requiring party affiliation. You will need to attend and complete the same training as other judges. To qualify, you must be 16 or 17 on or before Election Day, be a U.S. citizen in good academic standing at a Minnesota high school (or home schooled), and get permission from your parents and your school. It's an invaluable chance to both contribute to democracy and learn the mechanics of how elections are run. Learn more HERE and click on this Interest Form:
