ST. LOUIS COUNTY ELECTION BOARD – Election Judges Needed for 2023  

In the upcoming April 4th, 2023, General Municipal Election in St. Louis County, voters will be choosing candidates and deciding on ballot issues for various public entities. Election Judges and Student Election Judges are needed to administer such elections in Missouri.  

The St. Louis County Election Board is accepting applications for people who are interested in serving as Election Judges for the April 4^th, 2023, Election. Additionally, the Election Board has an excellent High School Student program that gives students an opportunity to work with veteran Election Judges providing hands on experience in learning how elections are conducted. Election Judges play a pivotal role in making it possible for citizens to rightfully exercise the franchise on Election Day. A typical election may have approximately 65% of voters cast ballots on Election Day at over 200 polling places across St. Louis County.  Election Judges set up the voting equipment at the polling location, manage the voting process, and secure the ballots for collection at the Election Board. They are truly the “backbone” of the electoral process.  Election Judges are awarded a financial stipend of $280 for their service. Students may receive a stipend of $170 or earn 16 community service hours. Serving as an Election Judge gives citizens a chance to perform an important civic duty and allows them to actively participate in their community.
