Act to amend and reenact § 24-194.2, as amended, of the Code of
Virginia, relating to appointment of additional judges and clerks of
election in certain counties and cities.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: _
1. That § 24-1942, as amended, 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 or of any county having a
population of more than twenty thousand two hundred, but less than
twenty-one thousand, or of any county having a population of more than
thirty-one thousand but less than thirty-two thousand and adjoining a city
having a population of more than fifty thousand but less than eighty thou-
sand, 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 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 swear-
ing 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.
