#美国地方选举#

如果不是有当地公民在投票点担任选举法官，美国的选举就不可能进行。法官必须是登记选民，他们宣誓要遵守确保选举完整性的国家法律和州法律。美国驻广州总领事馆的一位官员在18岁时曾在她所在的伊利诺伊州当地社区担任选举法官。

选举法官致力于保持投票点畅通无阻，并在有需要时帮助有特殊需求的选民获得合理的专用设施，从而使所有人都能享有公平、自由的选举。无论是否存在残障、性别认同、无家可归或英语能力等因素，美国人人都有权投票。

美国驻广州总领事馆的这位同事在讲述自己担任选举法官的经历时表示：“晚上结束时是令人大为兴奋的时刻，因为选举法官负责所有选票，并且要以安全的方式将其送交所在地区的中央点票机构来等待正式结果。”

你有兴趣在投票点担任选举法官吗？

#Local Elections in the US#

Elections in the United States could not occur without local citizens serving as election judges at polling places. Judges must be registered voters and they take an oath to uphold both the national and state laws that ensure the integrity of elections. At the age of 18, a Consulate Guangzhou Officer served as an election judge in her local community in the state of Illinois.

Election judges work to keep polling places accessible and help voters with special needs receive reasonable accommodations, if necessary, to keep elections fair and free for all. Regardless of disability, gender identity, homelessness, or English ability, Americans are entitled to vote.

Recounting her experience as an election judge, the Consulate Guangzhou colleague said, “The end of the night is very exciting, as election judges account for all ballots and deliver them in a secure manner to the central counting authority in their district to await official results.”

Would you be interested in serving as an election judge at a polling place?
