Article 3 - ELECTION OFFICIALS
Title 4 - (3-400 - 3-420) ELECTION INSPECTORS AND POLL CLERKS
3-406 - Election inspectors and poll clerks; additional.

§  3-406.  Election  inspectors  and poll clerks; additional. 1.  Each
  board of elections shall establish a list of persons duly  qualified  to
  serve  as  election  inspectors,  which  list  shall  be  known  as  the
  "Additional Inspector List", in such number  of  persons  as  the  board
  shall  determine. Such a list shall be equally divided between the major
  political parties. Appointments under this section shall be made in  the
  manner  provided  for the appointment of regular election inspectors and
  for a like term.
    2. Any person serving as an additional inspector of elections may,  at
  the  direction  of  the  board of elections, be assigned to any election
  district or transferred from one election district to another  after  he
  has  entered upon the performance of his duties on a day of registration
  or election.
    3. Any person designated to the additional inspectors list shall  meet
  the  requirements  for regular election inspectors and may be removed in
  the same manner as any election inspector.
    4. If the board of elections shall determine  that  a  vacancy  exists
  upon  any  board  of  inspectors  or that any election inspector or poll
  clerk is absent, and that no qualified voter has been appointed pursuant
  to this chapter to act in place  of  such  election  inspector  or  poll
  clerk,  or  to relieve any qualified voter who has been so appointed, it
  shall forthwith direct a person appointed pursuant to  this  section  to
  act in place of the absent election inspector or poll clerk or qualified
  voter so appointed until such absent election inspector or his appointed
  successor  shall appear; provided, however, that the additional election
  inspector so appointed shall be a designee of the same  political  party
  as  the  election  inspector  in  whose place he shall act. The board of
  elections shall provide suitable  identification  for  every  additional
  election  inspector  to  present  to  the  chairman  of the board before
  entering upon the duties of such office.
    5. Additional inspectors shall be paid by the  county  in  which  they
  serve in an amount fixed by the board of elections.
