Background:

2020 is predicted to have a large voter turnout.  The Supervisor of Elections needs between 150 (primary) and 600 (general election) volunteers to work at poll locations.  She is requesting to have a policy by which BoCC employees may volunteer to have a “work” day be at the polls on election day. This was done in the County for the 2008 election year.
