Bill Summary
Current law requires a county clerk and recorder to designate a minimum number of voter service and polling centers depending on the number of active electors. The bill allows a county clerk and recorder of a county with between 10,000 and 37,500 active electors to apply to the secretary of state for permission to reduce the number of required voter service and polling centers if the county clerk and recorder submits data showing how many registered electors voted at one or more of the county's required voter service and polling centers compared to the county's available resources and showing that the number of designated voter service and polling centers was not required for the number of registered electors. For partisan elections, current law requires a county clerk and recorder to appoint 3 election judges for each voter service and polling center. The bill allows a county clerk and recorder of a county with less than 37,500 active electors (small county) to appoint a member of the county clerk and recorder's staff to serve as one of the required election judges for each voter service and polling center.
AI Summary
This bill allows county clerks and recorders in counties with between 10,000 and 37,500 active electors (small counties) to apply to the Secretary of State to reduce the number of required voter service and polling centers if they provide data showing that the current number is not required for the number of registered electors. Additionally, the bill allows small county clerks and recorders to appoint a member of their staff to serve as one of the required election judges for each voter service and polling center, rather than having to appoint three separate election judges. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for election administration in smaller counties.
