Arapahoe County wants to hire up to 800 election judges for Colorado's November election

County election offices are ramping up as we get closer to counting ballots for the November election. In Arapahoe County, they're hoping more community members will sign up for vital jobs to help with the process.

The county is hiring 700 to 800 people to work as temporary election judges. Election judges are hired on a bipartisan basis, but the county is actively looking for more Republican election judges.

Depending on your needs and schedule, the county will offer a position that works best for you. It's a paid job, and those employed will be temporary employees of Arapahoe County. It's a job that many election judges take seriously.

Vinny and Mary Martin, registered Democrats who are married, have been working as election judges for about eight years. The presidential election is the third election they'll work this year.

"We enjoy it. It's a responsibility that we both take very dearly," said Vinny, who helps open and process ballots. "This job is really important to me. Each ballot that we handle is a vote. It's the voice of some person," said Mary.
