AI Summary

This bill adds a fifth member to the Board of Elections Commission in the City of Everett.

The Board of Election Commissioners will consist of five members, including the City Clerk and four members appointed by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by the City Council, with the goal of representing the two leading political parties.
