Summary & Background: To provide temporary staffing services for the temporary staffing services for the General Election, November 5, 2024, and the General Run-off Election, December 3, 2024.

 

Scope of Work: The statewide contract will provide supplemental staffing services to prepare and conduct the above-mentioned scheduled elections. To successfully conduct a county-wide election, the Registration and Elections Department needs to

hire approximately 804 workers. The County is not equipped to manage that workload of recruiting and hiring the mass amount. Thus, it is essential to contract these services to a professional recruitment vendor, to meet the necessary volume of staff for each election. The Department of Registration and Elections recommends approval of statewide contract to provide temporary staffing services for the General Election, and the General Run-off Elections.
