VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO AMEND SECTION 7-13-110, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT POLL MANAGERS MUST BE RESIDENTS AND REGISTERED ELECTORS OF COUNTIES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SERVES AS A POLL MANAGER, ASSISTANT POLL MANAGER, OR POLL WORKER IS ENTITLED TO BE COMPENSATED IN AN AMOUNT NOT LESS THAN SEVENTY DOLLARS FOR ATTENDING COMPULSORY ELECTIONS TRAINING REQUIRED BY STATE LAW AND FOR WORKING THE DAY PRESCRIBED BY LAW TO CONDUCT GENERAL ELECTIONS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

(A) All managers of election for the various polling places in the State must be residents and registered electors of the respective counties in which they are appointed to work or in an adjoining county. AnyA person at least sixteen years of age who has completed the training required by Section 7-13-72 and who is not otherwise disqualified by law may be appointed as a poll manager's assistant by the appropriate county election commission. AnyA sixteen- or seventeen-year-old appointed as a poll manager's assistant may not serve as chairman of the managers or clerk in the polling place to which he or she is appointed. Sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds must serve under supervision of the chairman of the managers of the polling place, and their specific duties must be prescribed by the county election commission. One sixteen- or seventeen-year-old assistant poll manager may be appointed for every two regular poll managers appointed to work in anya precinct.
(B) An individual who serves as a poll manager, assistant poll manager, or poll worker is entitled to be compensated in an amount not less than seventy dollars for:
