and provide financial incentives to poll workers and if necessary, to activate the National Guard.
FISCAL NOTE
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund nor to county or other local governments. However, there
could be approximately $2,000,000 expended from federal funds available to the state from the CARES Act.
