SUMMARY & BACKGROUND: To provide temporary staffing services for the temporary staffing services for the General Election /Nonpartisan Election & Runoff Elections.
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 797 to 799 workers.
