§ 10518 District Election Delegation

This law lets the county elections boss let the election officer of the only district that has an election do all the county election jobs too.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only works when just one district in the county has a scheduled general election.
  • •The county elections official can give the district officer permission to do county election tasks.
  • •The district officer can perform any duty the county official normally would.

Example

A tiny county only has one school district that is holding a general election this year.

The county elections official can tell that district's election officer to handle things like setting up voting places, counting ballots, and reporting results, just like the county official would normally do.
