Student Election Judge Program

In Colorado, Juniors and Seniors in high school (ages 16 & 17) are able to work as Student Election Judges. This experience exposes students to grassroots democracy in our community. Serving as a Student Election Judge motivates students to become active voters and to serve as regular election judges when they are adults.
