During a recent government meeting, key discussions centered around the upcoming November ballot, which will feature seven statewide questions. The meeting transitioned into a public comment segment, where participants were reminded to limit their remarks to two minutes.

Oscar Williams, a member of the public, raised concerns regarding a proposal allowing poll workers to volunteer without pay. He argued that this approach could exacerbate labor shortages and suggested instead that counties should double the pay for poll workers from $11 to $22 per hour. Williams emphasized the need for better compensation to attract quality workers, particularly seniors, who make up a significant portion of poll workers. He also proposed allowing six-hour shifts to accommodate those who may struggle with longer hours.

The committee had previously voted to support the recommendation allowing unpaid volunteer poll workers, although it was noted that the vote was not unanimous, with three dissenting opinions. The chair acknowledged Williams' comments and reiterated the committee's decision.

As the meeting concluded, members expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts of staff and fellow committee members, highlighting the successful transition to a new meeting location in southern Nevada, which is expected to enhance public participation in future meetings. The chair also recognized the contributions of retiring member Mister Salguero, marking the end of an era for the committee.
