High School Student Judges

High school student judges play an integral part of the election process in suburban Cook County. Not only do they provide a valuable service to voters in their community but in working with their fellow judges they get a behind the scenes look at the democratic process in America. High school student judges share the same responsibilities and receive the same pay ($170) as regular judges.

Eligible student judges must:

• Be a junior or senior with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
• Have written consent from their parents and principal
• Be a U.S. Citizen
• Serve in a suburban Cook County polling place from 5:00 a.m. on Election Day until the polls have closed and the results have been transmitted at the end of the night

We are not currently accepting applications for the March 18, 2014 Gubernatorial Primary Election however if you are interested or have questions please contact Sue Ellen Colón at 312.603.1099 or sueellen.colon@cookcountyil.gov.
