§ 24-194.2. The electoral board of any city containing more
than one hundred ninety thousand population and the electoral
board of any county having a density of population in excess of
two thousand per square mile may at any time appoint such addi-
tional judges, clerk, or clerks for any voting place in the city or
county when the board deems additional judges, clerk, or clerks
necessary 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 is prescribed 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.

2. § 148-a of the Code of 1919 and § 24-194.1 of the Code of 1950
