Election Judge for Cook County - Anonymous employee Cook County Clerk Employee Review

Easy-to-learn training, good pay, knowledgeable coworkers

Slow response from administrators for technology assistance

The Election Judge position is just for one day so one is not committed to it.

The training for Election Judges is ok but can definitely be improved. They teach you how to operate the voting machines for one day and expect you to remember it on Election Day. You can call "Downtown" where someone will walk you through the problem. The people that are very knowledgeable on how to use the machines are literally sitting in a huge office just waiting for precincts to call them for assistance - how about putting one person at every precinct instead? This is better than hundreds of them sitting waiting for us to call for help.
