Staff would like to point out that ten (10) applicants are high school students who have <br />applied to serve the City of New Brighton in this capacity. They are allowed by MN State Statutes <br />to do so as long as they are high school students 16 years of age or older in good standing. <br />Election Judge training is good for a two-year period and most applicants are already certified. <br />The City Clerk will be working with new applicants to ensure they are trained and ready to serve <br />in compliance with MN State Statutes and Ramsey County procedures by Election Day. <br />Terri Haarstad <br />City Clerk <br />Attachments: <br />0 Resolution <br />
