Counties; authorize to pay poll workers certain mileage.

HB 429 authorizes counties to reimburse poll workers for mileage when they return to the registrar's office after election polls close. Specifically, it adds a provision allowing poll managers or other personnel present at voting precincts to receive reimbursement at the federal employee rate for miles traveled beyond 10 miles after election day. This applies to any required return trip to the registrar's office, building on existing compensation for poll workers. The bill directly affects local election staff who travel post-election and updates Mississippi Code Section 23-15-227 to include this mileage reimbursement. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
