(KLZA)-- Wages have been set for Richardson County poll workers for the May 12 primary election.
County Clerk Mary Eickhoff said a number of people who regularly serve as poll workers decided not to work this election due to the coronavirus.
Eickhoff requested Commissioners to set the poll workers wages at $11 per hour for both the May Primary Election and the November General Election.
Poll workers will have added responsibilities during this election year with providing safe and disinfected areas for the voters and they will also be required to protect themselves as well by wearing masks at the polls.
