"I'he current rate of pay has been in effect at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elecrions Office since 2008, with no increase. Elecuon Da� is long and arduous with some workers working as long as 1� hours straight It is difficult to find poll workers who will work due to the long dav and low pay. I intend to increase the Village's rate of pa� 10% (Ex. A). I completed an analysis on the number of poll workers at each precinct compared to the number of�-oters, and trit�nining the staffing le�-e1 b�� four workers will have no adverse effect. These changes will result in an overall poll worker pay savings of$395 even with the pay rate increase.
