Attention: State of Maryland Employees
State of Maryland employees who are scheduled to work on election day can use administrative leave to serve as an election judge and keep the election judge pay. Note: Only State employees scheduled to work on election day can use administrative leave.
If you are a State employee and want to serve as an election judge, follow your normal procedures for requesting leave and contact your local board of elections to sign up as an election judge. The local boards of elections have the paperwork you may need to provide to your supervisor.

Double dipping. Makes me want ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI recently resigned fom the program for personal reasons, but was a state employed election official for many years.
ReplyDeleteI think the program was started to incentivise judge participation, and has worked.
I highly recommend it, but you still work a 16 hour day, mostly on your feet.
If you have been an election judge you would not give this a second thought. The pay and the hours are not as desirable as you might think. The term "pittance" comes to mind...
ReplyDeleteI don't work for the state but where I work there are more than 1 person that takes a vacation day to work the polls.
ReplyDeleteMost of the workers at my polling place yesterday were sitting, with the exception of maybe 2!
ReplyDeleteHow many retirement checks from the state does Norm Conway cash per month?
