title
Request for approval to develop a program to establish a dedicated corps of County workers who may be regularly available to assist the Elections Administrator's Office with election work.
end
Background and Discussion:
In 2022 the Commissioners Court approved the County Election Worker Program, which authorized a program allowing County employees to volunteer to work on elections. The County Election Worker Program successfully supported elections in 2022 and relies upon requests for volunteers prior to each election. Building upon that success, OCA will work with the Election Administrator to develop a program for Commissioner Court consideration which does not require solicitation of volunteers before each election but instead identifies a standing corps of workers who can be expected to reliably and repeatedly support election work, and who will be compensated for their time. Recommendations for a final program and any fiscal impact of a revised program will come back to Commissioners Court for consideration.
Expected Impact:
Create a reliable corps of workers to provide election support.
Alternative Options:
Continue with the current program.
