Each county chair shall estimate voter turnout for each precinct in accordance with §81.118 of this title (relating to Estimating Voter Turnout) and then the county clerk or elections administrator shall combine the turnout for each joint primary precinct for both parties. This combined statistical information will be entered in Section A of the joint primary election services contract form. Joint physical requirements (i.e., ballots, election co-judges and clerks, voting devices or machines) will be used to arrive at estimated joint requirements of the joint primary countywide. It is recommended that the number of election co-judges and clerks to be appointed by each party be provided to the chair by November 24, 1997, with any supplementation made by January 26, 1998, the deadline in which the joint primary election services contract form must be filed with the Secretary of State.
