But i think this year, more voters will be taking advantage of it because of covid?

When i last spoke with city clerk, anissa hollingshead, last month... rochester was on the hunt for a lot more election judges.

She tells me a lot more volunteers have come forward so they're well prepared for the primary's tomorrow.

Every polling place has a list of safety measures in place for everyone's safety.

And if you want to avoid longer wait times... hollingshead has some advice for you.

Not the lunch hour, not first thing, not right after work.

Those in between times is a great time to go."

If you wanted to be an election judge but didn't get the chance to sign up for tomorrow... hollingshead tells me they're still looking for more people for the november election.
