Counties authorized to establish pools of election judges by random selection, and counties and cities allowed to require appointed registered voters to serve as election judges.

The bill allows counties in Minnesota to create a pool of election judges through random selection. It also permits counties and cities to mandate that registered voters they appoint serve as election judges during elections.

Supporters of the bill argue that it enhances the efficiency and fairness of the election process by ensuring a diverse group of election judges is selected. They believe that random selection can help eliminate bias and improve public confidence in the electoral system.

Critics of the bill may argue that requiring appointed registered voters to serve as election judges could lead to a lack of qualified individuals overseeing elections. They might also express concerns about the potential for random selection to overlook experienced judges and disrupt the election process.
