§ 3-420. Election inspectors, poll clerks and election coordinators;

compensation. 1. Election inspectors, poll clerks, election coordinators

and qualified voters appointed to act in place of an absent inspector,

clerk or coordinator shall be paid for their services on the days of

registration and election, by the county containing the election

district in which they serve, in an amount fixed by the county

legislative body, subject to such limitations as shall be prescribed or

authorized by statute, except that in the city of New York the amount of

such compensation shall be payable by such city and shall be fixed by

the mayor at a daily rate which, in the case of election inspectors

shall not be less than one hundred thirty dollars and in the case of

election coordinators not less than two hundred dollars. Such

inspectors, poll clerks, election coordinators and qualified voters at a

general or special village election conducted by the board of elections

shall be paid by such village in an amount fixed by the village board of

trustees subject to any such limitations.

2. An election inspector or poll clerk who attends a required training

session shall be paid not less than twenty-five dollars for each meeting

plus, at the option of the county, transportation expenses not to exceed

the mileage allowance approved by the county legislative body for their

permanent employees, payable by the county or in the case of the city of

New York, by such city. For administrative purposes, each county may

establish one or more categories for the mileage allowance, based on the

range of distance traveled, and pay the mileage allowance for that

category.

3. The chairman of the board of inspectors of each election district

shall, within twenty-four hours of any election or day of local

registration, furnish to the board appointing such officers, if required

by such board to do so, a certificate stating the days and hours of

actual service of each member of such board, the names of the persons,

if any, who served as clerks on an election day, the hours of their

service, and the days on which the store, building or room hired for

registration and election purposes was actually used for such purposes.

4. If a person recommended and examined for appointment as election

officer in a city, or examined therefor without recommendation in the

absence of a party list, be found disqualified and be not appointed, as

therein provided, and such person shall serve in the same calendar year

as inspector at a registration or election or as clerk at an election,

under a vacancy appointment, he shall receive no compensation for such

services.
