Election workers gain access to split shifts

Effective immediately, New York county election boards may schedule election inspectors and poll clerks for split shifts. Pay must be adjusted, but the law sets no amounts and does not specify whether pay increases or decreases. Each poll site must have at least one inspector and one poll clerk from each of the two major parties. This staffing must be maintained the entire time polls are open. Each county board must set rules and procedures to keep poll sites running properly during split shifts.
