NORTH STAR NEEDS ELECTION JUDGES
North Star Township is seeking election judges. We need people who can share their time to provide 3 trained judges required for each election event held at our Town Hall. Our intent is to offer shifts of judges for each election so that individuals do not need to serve for entire days and instead serve election needs for just a few hours. Election judges receive pay for their service. If you are interested in supporting democracy as an election judge, please contact Clerk Ellen Hanson at clerknorthstar@gmail.com or call Ellen at 218 409 1999 or Ray Barnes Head Election Judge at 218 428 2510 for more information.
