Senate Roll Call 799: Passed

To allow a county board of commissioners or county clerk to request specific information from individuals nominated by political parties to serve on the county board of election canvassers. Specifically, they could ask if the person has any election experience, has a criminal record, and whether he or she is interested in the position and intends to discharge the duties it requires to the best of his or her abilities. Under current law nominees are recommended by the two leading political parties and selected by the county board, and any vacancies are filled by the county clerk. The county canvassers board has two members from each party.
