Section 230:35-3-30 - Pre-Election Expense Claim

(a) When the state, the county, a school district, a municipality, or any other governmental entity calls an election to be conducted by the County Election Board, the Secretary of the County Election Board shall prepare an estimate of the number of Precinct Officials, Absentee Voting Board members, and any authorized special-purpose precinct workers required for the election, and the amount of compensation for all Precinct Officials, Absentee Voting Board members, and any special-purpose precinct workers. [26:3-105.1(A)] The estimate also shall include mileage reimbursement for Inspectors to pick up and return election supplies and materials; for Precinct Officials, and special-purpose precinct workers assigned to polling places located ten miles or more from their homes; for any Absentee Voting Board member who travels 10 miles or more from home to the County Election Board office or in-person absentee polling place to report for duty; and for one member of each nursing home Absentee Voting Board. The Secretary shall prepare the estimate, which shall be known as a Pre-Election Expense Claim, in MESA. The Pre-Election Expense Claim shall be submitted to the entity not less than 35 days prior to the election. [26:3-105.1(A)]

(b) The compensation for Precinct Officials, Absentee Voting Board members, and any authorized special-purpose precinct workers shall be billed for and paid according to the amount authorized by state law. [26:2-129]

(c) When two or more entities hold elections on the same date and two or more of the entities are involved in the same precinct, the cost of Precinct Official, Absentee Voting Board member, and special-purpose precinct worker compensation and mileage reimbursement shall be divided equally among the entities involved in each precinct. However, if a school district election is held on the same date as a county election, the county shall assume the school district's share of Precinct Official, special-purpose precinct worker, and Absentee Voting Board compensation and mileage.
