§ 12310 Precinct Board Member Pay

• •All precinct board members must be paid by the governing body of the area.
• •The money comes out of the treasury of the place where the election is held.
• •The inspector can be paid more than other board members for extra duties like securing board members.

During a city election, Maria is a precinct board member and receives a paycheck from the city’s treasury; the inspector, Luis, gets a higher paycheck because he also secures the board members and does other tasks the elections official asks him to do.

The city pays Maria the same amount as other board members, and it pays Luis more because the law lets the inspector get extra money for the extra work he does.
