Definition(s)

  • AN ELECTION JUDGE, called “election inspector” in some states, or more frequently “poll worker,” is a citizen who is hired to work with precinct officials at each polling place to assist the conduction of voting on election day. This is different from a “poll watcher,” who observes the voting at a polling site on behalf of a certain candidate or party and notes any irregularities or violations of election codes.
