Prior to every Election, training classes are scheduled for that election cycle.
There are sessions scheduled for Election Day Judges, Election Day Registration Judges, Early/Grace Voting Judges, High School Students and make-up classes. All newly appointed Judges are required to take a training class before being scheduled at a Precinct/Polling Place on Election Day. Early/Grace Judges are required to attend a training session, prior to each Early Voting cycle, before being scheduled to work. Information will be sent out well ahead of time to all of the current judges. If you are new and would like more information, please contact the Election Judge Coordinator, Theresa Nordquist for the training session schedules. Email: tnordquist@dekalbcounty.org
The two-year training course, mandated by the State of Illinois for all Election Judges is scheduled for the fall in the even numbered years. Any experienced judges are more than welcome to attend one of the available Election Day training classes, during any election cycle, please contact the Election Judge Coordinator for availability.
