Does it matter if I’m unaffiliated (or choose not to be registered with a political party)?
A. Due to the process by which appointments are made, those who are affiliated with one of the two major political parties have the earliest opportunity to be appointed, namely when the party chairs provide their lists of recommendations. Especially for Judges of Election, political affiliation is a significant factor that is taken into consideration. In instances where there are an insufficient number of workers from one party or the other, unaffiliated voters may be appointed to work as assistants in the polling places.
