Primary Day, by the Numbers

[RandySF]

The city’s 1,213 polling places will open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m.

For the more than 35,000 poll workers who have been hired for the day, it will be a long one: They are expected to be on the job for 17 hours, including an hour before the doors open and an hour after they close.

That makes the heat “fundamentally a facilities and work force challenge” for the Board of Elections, said Vincent Ignizio, its deputy executive director, “and we are treating it with the urgency it deserves.” He said the board was sending fans to locations that do not have air- conditioning.

As for voters, Ignizio said they should “take necessary precautions when heading to the polls.”
