Judge Connect

Returning election judges and equipment managers as well as those who have submitted applications should use this tool to inform us of availability, sign up for training, view assignments and more.

If you've never applied to work as an election judge, you must submit an application before you can use Judge Connect.

Township committeemen should also use this tool to assign election judges and check the status of precinct appointments.

Election Judges
(Poll Workers)

Every election, more than 10,000 election judges in nearly 2,000 suburban Cook County precincts make sure polling place operations run smoothly and elections are carried out fairly, honestly and accurately. Election judges are responsible for supervising the conduct inside polling places and helping voters.

Election judges can receive up to $170 every election. This includes working Election Day, training and assisting with polling place set-up before Election Day. The information on this website pertains only to election judges working in suburban Cook County. For information about serving in Chicago, visit www.chicagoelections.com or call (312) 269-7900.
