Approved April 5, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 24-194.2 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 24-194.2. The electoral board of any city containing more than
one hundred ninety thousand population, or of any city having a popula-
tion of more than twenty thousand but less than thirty thousand inhab-
itants, and the electoral board of any county having a density of popula-
tion in excess of two thousand per square mile may at any time appoint
such additional judges, clerk, or clerks for any voting place in the city
or county when the board deems additional judges, clerk, or clerks neces-
sary to facilitate voting at such place in any general, primary or special
election. The qualifications of such judges, clerk, or clerks shall be the
same as those prescribed for judges and clerks required by law to be
appointed for holding general, primary or special elections. There shall
be administered to the additional judges, clerk or clerks by the judges
of election, or either of them, or by the officer swearing the judges, the
same oath as that taken by the judges. The additional judges, clerk, or
clerks shall receive the same compensation for their services as 1s pre-
scribed by law for judges and clerks required to be appointed for holding
such elections, to be paid out of the treasury of such city or county.
