52. How are election workers at polling places assigned in Ohio?

Mar 2024

Here in Indiana, the Democratic and Republican county parties assign them. There is an Inspector that is assigned by the party receiving the most votes for Secretary of State in the county. Otherwise, there are Judge and Clerk positions from both parties.

In Wisconsin, I noticed that counties do not conduct the elections. Cities and villages have their own election "boards". Outside of cities and villages the townships conduct them.
