precinct chairman
Depende mucho del CONTEXTO, el origen, la función precisa, etc. Además en inglés (USA) puede variar también.
Supongo que se trata de la persona a cargo de una mesa electoral y de los demás colaboradores en la misma.

I thinking more I would qualify this further, since a precinct chairman aften refers to a party worker in charge of a precinct.

election judge
"When you enter your polling place, an election judge will greet you, ask your name, and confirm that you are registered to vote in that precinct. Then he or she will ask you to sign next to your name in the precinct register. A second election judge will give you your ballot and explain how to mark it and what to do with it once you’ve finished voting."http://www.sos.state.mt.us/css/ELB/How_to_Vote.asp
Dependiendo del país anglohablante en cuestión puede variar. En los EE.UU no se habla de "presidentes" y "secretarios" de mesa, sino en general de "election judges".

\"La Mesa Electoral debe estar compuesta, necesariamente, por tres personas: un Presidente y dos Vocales. Cada uno de ellos tendrá designados dos Suplentes. Los Presidentes y Vocales de las Mesas Electorales tienen derecho a:
- Un permiso retribuido durante el día de la votación, si es laborable, y a una reducción de su jornada de trabajo durante cinco horas el día inmediatamente posterior.
- Una dieta de 52,29 €.\"

Adjunto este párrafo para ilustrar el hecho de que \"presidente de la mesa electoral\" no es un cargo \"elevado\". En España se trata de un deber cívico: a uno lo llaman para hacer de presidente o de vocal en una mesa electoral como, por poner un ejemplo, a uno lo llaman en EE.UU para \"jury duty\".
