ELECTION JUDGES NEEDED
As the end of 2023 quickly approaches, the City of Prior Lake is preparing for 2024 and we are in need of Election Judges. Judges come from a variety of backgrounds some with little to no experience, and others who have been serving the community for years. Judges are not volunteers and do get paid to handle all of the different aspects of voting at the polls.
