LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
North St. Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale Independent School District 622 has called for a special
election to be held on November 3, 2015. It is the City’s responsibility to run the election including appointing supervising election judges to work the polls; however, all costs and legal
notice publications associated with the election are the responsibility of ISD 622.
Pursuant to Section 204B.21 of the Minnesota Election Laws, election judges shall be appointed
by the municipality. The appointments shall be made at least 25 days before the election at which the judges will serve. The election judges are required to receive compensation equal to at least
the prevailing Minnesota minimum wage for each hour spent carrying out duties at the polling
place and attending training.
The City Council approved the appointment of the judges on the attached Exhibit A to serve for the ISD 834 special election in May, 2015. Staff is requesting the individuals listed on the
attached Exhibit A be re-appointed to serve as election judges for the November 3, 2015 Special
Election at the hourly rate of $10.00 for election judges and $11.00 for head election judges. As
allowed by law if circumstances change before the election, the resolution authorizes the City
Clerk to appoint additional election judges as necessary.
