Election administrator requests seasonal part-time hire, estimates cost under $5,000

The Freeborn County election administrator told the board the office needs a part-time seasonal employee to meet increased election workloads, including chain-of-custody tasks and public-accuracy testing surrounding the upcoming general election. The administrator said the role would work roughly 15–30 hours per week for about three weeks before the election and two weeks after, and estimated the total cost "would be no more than $5,000."
