Champaign County polling places may close without more election judges
Original: Champaign County voters could see polling locations close — unless more people become election judges
Champaign County, Illinois could be forced to close some polling locations in upcoming elections if it cannot recruit enough election judges to staff them. Election officials are asking residents to sign up as judges, warning that a shortage of workers would reduce voting sites and make it harder for some voters to cast ballots in person.
Why now: Local officials are publicly warning about an election judge shortage that could reduce access to voting.
