Regulation Text
8.1.
Each candidate's committee may employ paid election workers solely for the candidate's personal campaign: Provided, however, That within the limits of one (1) election worker per precinct, as set forth in Section 8.2 of these rules, two (2) or more candidates' committees may jointly employ paid election workers only when the payment to each worker is equally divided among the candidate's committees.
8.2.
Under no circumstances shall a candidate's committee employ directly or indirectly in excess of one (1) paid election worker per number of precincts within the area the candidate is seeking to represent. The total number of election worker(s) employed to work within any political subdivision shall not exceed the total number of precincts in which the candidate appears on the ballot within that political subdivision. The candidate's committee may employ any number of worker(s) per day per political subdivision, so long as the total number of worker-days do not exceed the number of precincts in the political subdivision. (Example: In a delegate district with thirty (30) precincts, thirty (30) workers may be employed for one (1) day; or, one (1) worker may be employed for thirty (30) days; or, three (3) workers may be employed for ten (10) days; or, any variation so long as the number of workers or worker-days do not exceed the total precincts within that delegate district).
