§ 12307 Precinct Board Appointment Notice

This law says that when people are chosen to be members of a precinct board, the elections official must quickly send each of them a notice that tells them they’re appointed, what their job is, what will happen if they don’t serve, and any other info the official thinks is needed.

Key Takeaways

•The elections official must send the notice right after the list of appointed members is filed.
•The notice must include the appointment, the specific position, the penalty for not serving, and any other needed info.
•Every voter who is appointed must get this notice by mail or personal delivery.

Example

The city council picks Maria to be a precinct board member. The elections official must mail her a letter right away that says she’s appointed, what her role is, that she could be fined or lose the appointment if she doesn’t show up, and any other instructions.

The law makes sure Maria gets a clear, prompt notice about her new job and the consequences of not doing it, so she knows exactly what’s expected.

Upon filing the list of names and addresses of those who have been appointed members of the precinct board, the elections official shall immediately mail or deliver to each voter so appointed, a notice stating the appointment and the position to which assigned, the penalty for failure to serve, and any other matter that the elections official determines. (Enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2.)
