The following table must be used to determine the number of election workers allowable for each joint precinct. The minimum number of clerks in a joint primary election is two, for a total of four workers per polling location, including the two presiding co-judges. Workers will be divided evenly between the two parties. If the total number of workers is an odd number, the extra worker is appointed from the list of the party whose candidate for governor received the highest number of votes in the precinct in the most recent gubernatorial general election. (If precincts have been consolidated or combined for the joint primary, then the highest number of votes is determined by adding the votes from the precincts that comprise the consolidated or combined precinct.)
