SYRACUSE, NY -- There were multiple reports earlier in the morning that the Onondaga County Board of Elections was looking for inspectors, but the Board is no longer seeking help.
Volunteers needed, then not
Board of Elections employee Eileen Long says some inspectors dropped out at the last minute, but their spots were quickly filled after the Board notified the media.
"We had quite a few cancellations, and right now our class is completely full so we are set for this year," she said. "We had the (announcement) out, but we're having additional classes this Sunday and that's already been filled."
New voting machines
Onondaga County will be using new voting machines for this election. The new inspectors will not be responsible for figuring out how to use the machines. They will only be tasked with making sure voters who need help get it, and maintaining privacy for voters.

Election day is next Tuesday, and it will be a long day for inspectors, who will spend over 16 hours at the voting sites.
