CONVERSE COUNTY ELECTION JUDGE RECRUITMENT
2024 PRIMARY ELECTION – Tues, August 20, 2024
2024 GENERAL ELECTION – Tues, November 5, 2024

The Converse County Clerk’s Office is seeking multiple election judge positions for the 2024 Primary and General Elections including election, registration, absentee board, audit, and alternate judges, as well as assistant and alternate head judges. Election judges provide a vital and critically important civic duty and service to our community, county, state, and nation. We currently fully utilize over 80 incredibly committed, experienced, and wonderful election judges, but Converse County elections require over 100 election judges due to the number of registered voters and voter precincts. We are seeking to recruit 20 judges in preparation for the fast-approaching 2024 election season. Following are the requirements, considerations, and pertinent information for citizens of Converse County to consider in becoming an Election Judge:
•	Election judges must be a registered voter in Converse County and cannot be a candidate for any office for the current election (except for Precinct Committeeman or Committeewoman). 
•	Immediate family members of candidates can only serve as registration judges.
•	Election judges from both major parties are required, and we strongly encourage all minor parties to apply as well (Constitution, Independent, Libertarian).
•	Election judges must be able to fluently read, write, and speak the English language.
•	Election judges cannot leave the polling place on election day (6:00 a.m. to approximately 8:00 p.m.).
•	Conducting an election is a public and civic service for all voters and candidates. Judges must conduct themselves in an appropriate and completely impartial manner at all times and must follow all laws, policies, and instructions; ensure the election is conducted in a secure and fair manner; and keep order at the polling place, including ensuring polling places are campaign-free zones. 
•	All judges must be willing and able to attend a minimum of two election judge trainings held during the day (Douglas and Glenrock) typically during the months of July and October. 
•	All election judges will be compensated for the day; for mileage when applicable; and will be provided three meals during election day. Note that there are different pay schedules for head judges, assistant head judges, and election judges (includes registration, absentee, audit, and canvassing).
•	All judges receive $25 for each training attended, plus mileage when applicable.
•	Students as young as sixteen can be election judges even though they cannot vote until the age of 18. They are required to attend trainings and receive the same pay as other judges. 
•	The Wyoming Voter Registration form contains a box where any voter can indicate interest in being an election judge. We contact everyone who checks this box.
Any citizen interested in volunteering or learning more about being an election judge, please call the County Clerk’s Office at 307-358-2244, email Janeen.morvee@conversecountywy.gov, or visit https://conversecountywy.gov.
