I strongly recommend that people look into being an election judge.
It's a vital function in our democracy.
We require about 30,000 election judges every year to run a general election in the state of Minnesota, so we need people.
And we need people committed to democracy and committed to access.
So I strongly urge people to do it.
You'll never regret it.
It's a really fascinating experience.
It can be a little bit of a long day, but that's okay.
It is a paid position, by the way.
And citizens as young as 16 in the state of Minnesota--16s and 17--16- and 17-year-olds may participate and assist in the voting place, and they too will get paid.
So there's certainly demand out there for such a position.
And there are counties and cities all over Minnesota who would love to get more people who are interested in performing the function of election judge.
Going to mnvotes.org to find out about rights and responsibilities in connection with voters with a disability.
That's one good place.
I would also say local-- Minnesota Department of Human Rights as well, which is a great advocate for people all over Minnesota, including but not limited to voters with disabilities.
So those are all places to look, at least initially, for help in navigating this field of potential accommodations.
Look, the bottom line is here, we want every eligible Minnesotan, regardless of disability status, to understand the rules of the road, to understand the accommodations out there, both on election day and beforehand, and to make sure that inadvertently or otherwise, no one is interfering with their right to vote by denying accommodations that are due them under state and federal law.
