Every election, Evanston Republicans appoint approximately 140 election judges . Election Judges are the first line of defense in protecting the integrity of the ballot and ensuring fairness at the polls. Generally, five judges are appointed per precinct. In Evanston, three are Democrats and two are Republicans. Iit is the responsibility of the Evanston Township Republican Committeeman to fill all of the allotted Election Judge positions with qualified Republicans.

An Election Judge is a gatekeeper of democracy, and is responsible for conduct inside the polling place, assisting voters, and maintaining fairness at all times. Judges are the backbone of the electoral process, and it is one of the most important ways that you can assist our mission here in Cook County.
