A provision in the Election Commission section of the General Appropriation Act reads as follows:

"The amounts appropriated in this section for "County Registration Board Members and County Election Commissioners," shall be disbursed annually to the County Treasurer at the rate of $1,000 for each member, not to exceed $10,000 per county. The County Treasurer shall use these funds only for the compensation of County Registration Board Members and County Election Commissioners. Any funds not used for this purpose shall be returned to the State Treasurer. These funds are exempted from mandated budget reductions."

"$100.00 additional compensation per day may be paid to each member of the Board of State Canvassers up to a total of 15 days that may be required for hearings held by the members of the Board of State Canvassers."

"Managers and clerks of state and county elections shall receive a per diem of $35.00; but managers shall not be paid for more than two days for any election and clerks for not more than three days for any election."
