Relates to split shifts for election inspectors or poll clerks
This bill allows county election boards to hire poll workers on split shifts, meaning they can work different hours rather than covering the entire polling day. Under this change, counties must ensure that at least one inspector and one poll clerk from each of the two major political parties are present for the full duration that polls are open. The legislation also requires counties to create specific rules to manage these split shifts and maintain proper operations at the polling sites.
