Restrictions On County and Precinct Election Board Membership
To be eligible for membership on a county or precinct election board, an individual must be a registered voter of the county in which he will serve and demonstrate competence to perform his duties. Persons thus qualified and appointed are trained in their duties in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board.
No person may serve on a county election board, precinct election board or absentee voting board at any election in which he or she is a candidate for office, or is a deputy or regular employee of a candidate for office.
