I have prepared a resolution, Attachment A, listing the names of qualified persons who have indicated their willingness to serve as election judges at the primary election, September 13, 1988, and the general election, November 8, 1988. :t is requested that the proposed resolution be adopted at the August 8, 1988 Council meeting. At the current time ,.3 judges have indicated their intent to work during the primary election. The City will be using the new Optech III voting system for the first time at the primary election, therefore I feel it appropriate to have six judges at each precinct. A general news article has been placed in the local newspaper and on the government channel of cable TV requesting persons who are interested in being election judges contact the City. In addition to having enough judges at each precinct, the Litt states political party balance must be maintained at the precincts. In the case of an odd number of election judges one more than half the number of a major political pa:ty may serve.
