Election workers in Attala County will soon get more money for their efforts.
The Attala County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to raise election workers pay from $100 to $125.
Attala County Circuit Clerk Wanda Fancher said workers typically work close to 14 hours on election days.
Workers at each precinct help set up ballot booths, check-in voters, collect ballots, and then return the boxes to the courthouse after the polls close.
Fancher said anyone wanting to become an election worker can call her office at 662-289-1741 or contact an election commissioner.
Republican and Democratic primary elections for state, regional, and county offices are set for Tuesday, Aug. 6.
