Summary

County elections staff said they received more than 50 applications after a July 6 press release and outlined petition circulation and filing windows for the 2027 consolidated primary and general cycles.

Rachel reported that since the office’s July 6 press release it had received "over 50 applications" for election judges and that two open houses drew about 40 attendees with more than half indicating interest in serving. She described the recruitment response as positive but said staffing remains an issue: the office is still recruiting two positions.

Rachel also outlined the 2027 calendar: petition circulation for the consolidated primary can begin "tomorrow, July 28," with filing from Oct. 19–26. For the consolidated general, circulation begins Aug. 25 with filing Nov. 16–23. She offered to answer questions or route them to the appropriate office if committee members needed further details.
