  for alternative inspectors who shall assume the office of inspector upon
  the inability or refusal of an inspector to assume or perform his duties
  and  for  any clerical help which they may deem necessary. Such clerical
  help shall perform their duties  under  direction  and  control  of  the

  general village  election,  both  major  political  parties  nominate  a
  candidate  or  candidates  for  elective village office then at the next
  village election following the election for which  the  nominations  are
  made the inspectors of election shall be appointed equally from enrolled
  members  of  such  parties.  Such equal representation shall be required

  inspector of election.

  village elections shall be equally divided between the  major  political
  parties.  All such inspectors shall be residents of the village in which
  they  serve. Such inspectors shall be appointed from among those persons
  appointed as inspectors pursuant to the provisions of section  3-420  of
  this  chapter.  If  the  number of inspectors appointed pursuant to such
  section 3-420 who are eligible and willing to serve in  any  village  is
  insufficient  to fill all the positions in such village, then additional
  inspectors shall be appointed  in  the  manner  so  prescribed  by  such
  section 3-420.
3.  Inspectors  of  election  for village elections shall prior to the
  assumption of their duties file a constitutional oath of office with the
  village clerk.
4. If the board of trustees of any village appoints four inspectors of
  election for each village election district,  they  may  also  determine
  that  two of the four inspectors of election shall serve on registration
  day or days.

  whenever  called upon by the village clerk, render to such village clerk
