Court approves March 3, 2026 joint primary notice and reviews election pay issue
Summary
The court approved the joint primary election notice and services contract for March 3, 2026, and discussed whether election worker pay will remain the same; staff said reimbursements should cover March but noted the initial order was specific to November, requiring a separate agenda item to approve a change.
Jefferson County commissioners approved the notice of a joint Democratic and Republican primary election to be held on March 3, 2026, and considered a related joint primary election services contract between the county elections officer and county party chairs. The items were moved, seconded, and approved.
During discussion, a commissioner asked whether pay for election workers would stay the same as previously discussed. The presiding official said that reimbursements received should make it possible to cover March; county staff cautioned that the existing order cited November specifically and that a separate agenda item would be needed to formally approve any change to dates or pay terms. The court approved the notices and contract but left the pay-order change for a future agenda item.
