The Montgomery County Board of Elections is seeking students, grades six to twelve, to serve as Election Day student aides during the 2008 Presidential General Election. 

Students must attend mandatory training to serve on Election Day and, if applicable, receive Student Service Learning (SSL) credits.  Students will be placed according to home addresses into neighboring precincts.  This initiative combines civic participation with an opportunity to observe democracy in action. This program is available to all students within a public, private, independent, religious, or home-school setting located in Montgomery County.  U.S. citizenship is not a pre-requisite to participate.  Students with bilingual and American Sign Language skills are encouraged to apply.

Applications may be downloaded from www.777vote.org or requested via e-mail at Future.Vote@montgomerycountymd.gov.  Students will be notified if selected to participate.

Montgomery County’s Board of Elections is also seeking individuals to serve as election judges at polling places on November 4.  If you would like to serve in this capacity, call 240-777-8533 or email electionjudge@montgomerycountymd.gov.
