§ 45-59-110 — Compensation of Certain Election Officials

(a)
In St. Clair County, election officials who work at polling places are entitled to an additional per diem allowance in such an amount as will, together with any amount paid by the state, make the total paid to such officials thirty-nine dollars fifty cents ($39.50) for each day they work at the polls. If the amount paid to such officials as compensation or expense allowance by the state increases in the future, then the amount paid by the county under this subsection shall automatically decrease in a like amount. In addition, the returning officer shall be entitled to the additional allowance of thirty-nine dollars fifty cents ($39.50) and a mileage allowance at the same rate as the mileage allowance allowed state employees. The expense allowances provided for in this subsection shall be paid from the general fund of the county.
(b)
The St. Clair County Commission, from time to time, may provide for supplemental compensation for the local election workers and officials which the county needs for county elections. Any compensation provided for local election workers and officials under this subsection shall be paid from the county general fund and shall be in addition to any compensation provided by general law for the election workers and officials.
