I assume that the question relates to officials designated in section 11 of the Electoral Act, 1963. The total amount paid to sheriffs acting as returning officers, to deputy returning officers and to an acting returning officer for work done in those capacities in the last general election was £2,555 12s. County registrars act as returning officers as part of their normal duties and do not receive special remuneration for general election work.
