All Election Judges have equal authority and responsibility to uphold the law on Election Day. All Election Judges act as a board in making decisions and the majority rules.

Election Judges, by majority decision, have the sole power to:

• Allow or disallow a voter challenge
• Remove unauthorized Pollwatchers and those deemed a disruption to the election process
• Limit the number of Pollwatchers

• Resolve problems honestly, fairly, and as quickly as possible
• Contact County Clerk’s office for advice
