§ 24-194.8. The electoral board of any county containing a popula-
tion of more than fifty thousand and being adjacent to a city with a popula-
tion of more than two hundred twenty-five thousand, and of any county
having therein an incorporated town with a population of not less than
four thousand six hundred and fifty nor more than four thousand seven
hundred and in which there ts only one voting precinct, may at any time
appoint such additional judges, clerk or clerks for any voting place in the
county when the board deems additional judges, clerk or clerks necessary
to facilitate voting at such place in any general, primary or special election.
In any county having therein an incorporated town with a population of
not less than four thousand three hundred fifty nor more than four
thousand five hundred and in which there is only one voting precinct, the
electoral board may in its discretion appoint not more than three addi-
tional judges and not more than four additional clerks for any general,
special or primary 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 county.
