HB 2802 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to election judges

This bill updates the rules for appointing election judges in Missouri by expanding who can serve in that role. It allows active-duty military members and their nonresident spouses to be appointed as election judges, even if they are not registered voters in the state. The legislation also clarifies that individuals cannot serve as judges at polling places where they or their close relatives are candidates, with specific exceptions for unopposed candidates in certain party committees. Additionally, it maintains requirements that election judges must be of good character, able to read and write English, and generally avoid holding other elective public offices during their term.
