Legislation doubling pay for election precinct officials takes effect

OKLAHOMA CITY – Precinct officials’ pay for a workday has doubled.

Effective July 1, precinct officials received a pay increase from $110 a day to $225 a day for inspectors and from $100 a day to $200 a day for judges and clerks. Oklahoma’s 77 county election boards are required to have these three precinct officials.

Misha Mohr, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Election Board, said precinct officials serve in Oklahoma’s nearly 2,000 precincts.

“So we’re hoping to make sure that we are able to fill all of those positions, and it’s especially important, like I said, when it comes to that November general election, because all of our precincts do need to be filled,” Mohr said.
