County election staff proposes early-voting schedule, worker pay and budget transfers
Summary
County election staffer 'Jennifer' presented a proposed early-voting schedule for Room G1, said state law requires Saturday and Sunday coverage with 12-hour weekends, proposed keeping worker pay at $12/hour plus a $25 flat fee and $2 delivery supplement, and requested several small fund transfers and publication of the election notice in the Rose Journal.
County election staff presented the election administration plan for the upcoming general election, asking the Limestone County Commission to approve Room G1 (downstairs) as the main early-voting location and to adopt a uniform schedule across sites.
“What I’ve submitted to you is the same across the board,” the presenter identified as Jennifer said, explaining proposed hours for early voting (weekday hours, extended evening hours, and required Saturday and Sunday coverage). She stated that current law requires weekend voting and referenced the obligation for a 12-hour requirement on the weekend.
Board members recorded a motion and second to adopt the proposed schedule and to appoint presiding and alternate judges for the central count; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include a roll call or final tally within the provided segments.
Jennifer also asked the board to maintain current compensation levels for election workers: $12 per hour, a flat $25 fee for in-person election-day workers (training to be conducted by video unless in-person training is required), and a $2 delivery supplement. She requested no change to the building compensation (a referenced $50 per building amount) and asked the board to approve publishing the notice of election in the Rose Journal.
Staff concluded by requesting small transfers between accounts to cover elections supplies, citing distribution account amounts “around about 4,682” and a requested transfer of 685 from elections for extra supplies; motions and a second were recorded, but the transcript segments provided do not show final vote tallies or formal outcomes in these excerpts.
The board discussed and moved the items forward for consideration; specific vote tallies and definitive outcomes were not recorded in the provided transcript segments.
