Butler County is once again contracting for services in order to properly staff Election Day.
The county approved an agreement with Specialized Staffing to provide workers for both the primary and general election. According to Specialized Staffing, the workers will receive $12 per hour.
County commissioners say the help is needed in order to open the mail-in envelopes. It’s estimated that the county will need about 10 workers for that day.
The actual counting of the ballots is done by workers in the Election Bureau.
