(A concerted effort to increase voter turn-out)....The County formed an Ad-Hoc committee to find ways to increase voter interest.

This week is Voter Registration Week, coinciding with National Voter Registration Day Tuesday. The Board of Supervisors Tuesday were told the Registrar of Voters Debra Porter is visiting High Schools this week recruiting student 18 and other to register to vote in the November election. The Supervisors also approved an enticement to get more participation in the election process. They agreed to increase the stipend paid poll workers. It will go from the current $65 to a flat $100 beginning with the November election. Other enticements and activities are also planned to increase interest in the upcoming election.
