Section 17-10-14

The county commission shall determine the amount of compensation to be paid to the absentee election manager or other absentee election manager for the performance of his or her duties with respect to the absentee ballots during the 45 day period prior to and on the day of the election for which his or her services are required, but such compensation shall be at least fifty dollars ($50) per day or the same pay as election day officials as referenced in Section 17-6-13. In all counties in which the compensation of absentee election managers is prescribed by local law or general law of local application at an amount in excess of the amount prescribed, the compensation of the absentee election manager shall not be increased or decreased. Those counties in which compensation of absentee election managers is set at an amount less than fifty dollars ($50) per day, the provision of the local law or general law of local application relative thereto is superseded. The amount shall be the total compensation allowed the absentee election manager for duties relating to absentee ballots in all elections held on the same day and shall be paid from the county treasury, except in case of a municipal election held at a time different from a primary or general election, in which event payment shall be made from the city or town treasury. However, no municipal employee shall be compensated for his or her services in this regard. Any reimbursement shall be as provided in Chapter 21 (commencing with Section 17-21-1).
