County election boards have a hiring spree ahead to make sure all polling places are fully staffed for next Tuesday’s primary.

Polling places need an inspector to open things up in the morning, and bipartisan teams of clerks to check voters in.

It’s up to county parties to supply clerks — the local election board can fill any vacancies if it gets too close to Election Day.

It’s actually a 14-hour day, since poll workers need to be there an hour before the polls open at 6 a.m. and another hour after the 6 p.m. closing to deal with voters waiting in line, and deliver their results to the central counting location.
