Be An Election Judge
Election Judges are the guardians of election integrity.
Only when we are assured of proper voter registration, protection of returned ballots and accurate processing of ballots, can we have faith in our election results.
Election Judges are hired, paid, and trained by the Denver County Clerks Election Division and are responsible for oversight of:
- Voter registration
- Issuing in-person ballots
- Monitoring and guarding ballot boxes
- Transporting ballots
- Assisting voters
- Processing ballots
- Signature verification
- Adjudicating ballots
The Denver Election Division runs a very open and transparent operation (not true of all counties!).
The parties, candidates, and ballot proposal committees are all allowed to have poll watchers (hyperlink) throughout the election process; however, a balance of Republican and Democrat Judges is the best way to ensure election integrity.
Therefore, the Denver Election Division encourages the parties to recruit and nominate judges.
While the Election Division makes the final decision on who the judges will be and what their assignments will be, the Denver Republican Party can influence this process by its nomination of capable judges.
Who Can Be An Election Judge?
In order to be an election judge, you must be a registered voter.
To be recommended by us you must be a registered Republican.
You do not have to live in Denver.
