Judge, inspector of elections races contested in county
About a dozen inspector of elections races and three judge of elections races in various Butler County voting precincts will be contested in the May 20 primary election.
“All election positions are under a much brighter spotlight than they were even 10 years ago, and there’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself,” said Jeff Greenburg, the senior adviser on election administration for the Committee of Seventy, a nonpartisan civic leadership organization based in Philadelphia.
Under state law, the judge of elections is the supervisor of the precinct while the majority and minority inspectors of elections ensure voting is legal and fair, with correct voter registration and verification and accurate voting machines.
The judge of elections opens the polls at 7 a.m., retrieves and returns all election materials to the Bureau of Elections before and after voting, and posts the precinct results outside. They are responsible for the conduct and manner in which the precinct operates.
