BILL NUMBER:S5332
Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to the compensation of election inspectors and coordinators
Purpose or general idea of bill
To increase the pay of election inspectors and coordinators
Summary of specific provisions
Amends subdivision 1 of section 3-420 of the election law to increase pay of election inspectors from no less than $130 to no less than $300, and election coordinators from no less than $200 to no less than $400
Justification
In light of many recent election scandals around the country resulting from unqualified election workers, New York State must attempt to attract the most competent and well qualified inspectors and coordina- tors for its elections. The best way to attract competent workers is to increase compensation for those jobs. This need for competent election inspectors and coordinators is especially important in light of the upgrades that New York State is currently bringing to its election equipment. As we convert our elections to electronic voting machines, we must ensure that our inspectors and coordinators are even more competent and well trained to deal with this new equipment.
