PRECINCT ELECTION OFFICIAL
A Precinct Election Official (PEO) is a properly registered voter in the County where they live who helps to ensure that all elections are conducted in a fair, honest, and transparent manner to help safeguard the integrity of the election process.
- Prepare the precinct by setting up voting equipment
- Greet the voters
- Verify the registration and identification of the voters
- Ensure the voters are provided the appropriate ballot
- At the end of the day, the PEOs close the precinct and prepare the ballots and other election materials for delivery back to the County Board of Elections on election night.
There are generally four people who work in each Precinct.
In larger Precincts, the Board of Elections may add additional Precinct Elections Officials.
The four positions are:
Voting Location Manager

Ballot Judge
Makes sure the Voter is given the appropriate Ballot and makes sure that all Ballots are secured until the end of the day
Recording Judge
Assists the Voting Location Manager and records the name of each Voter and corresponding ballot stub number (which are detached from the ballot)
Provisional Judge
Processes the Provisional Voters (Voters who have moved and not changed their name or address) and assists the Voting Location Manager with checking in Voters
