§ 10519 District Election Duties Delegation

This law lets a county elections official do the jobs of a district secretary, and lets a supervising authority do the jobs of the district governing body, but only if the district asks for it.

Key Takeaways

  • •County elections official can take over district secretary duties if the district asks.
  • •Supervising authority can take over district governing body duties if the district asks.
  • •The switch only happens when the district governing body makes the request.

Example

A small school district needs help filing voter registration forms, so it asks the county elections official to handle that paperwork. At the same time, the state education board steps in to make the district’s policy decisions.

Because the district asked, the county elections official can do the secretary’s tasks, and the supervising authority can act like the district’s governing board.
