Election Judges

Lewis & Clark County employs over 200 Election Judges to help run countywide elections. Most of our election judges staff polling places, helping electors make their vote count and protecting the integrity of the election process. Other judges work in the election office to prepare thousands of absentee ballots for counting and provide other election day assistance.
