Compensation.

(a) In Crenshaw County, in addition to any and all other compensation, salary, and expense allowances provided for by law, there shall be paid to each election official of the county an expense allowance in such an amount as will, together with any amount paid by the state, as salary, compensation, or expense allowance, make the total paid to such members equal to twenty-five dollars ($25) per day, and the returning officer, in addition thereto, ten cents ($0.10) a mile going to the courthouse and returning to the place of holding the election. If the amount paid to such officials as compensation or expense allowance by the state increases in the future, then the amount paid by the county under this section shall automatically decrease.

(b) The amount paid under the provisions of this section shall be paid out of the county general fund and shall be paid only when the election officials actually attend meetings.
