§ 14107 Voter Roster Requirements

This law tells each precinct board what information must be on the voter list and what they have to sign to say the voting was done correctly.

Key Takeaways

  • •The roster must have a signature line, the voter’s address, and a warning about voting crimes.
  • •Board members must certify who actually voted, who didn’t, and that the ballot totals are correct.
  • •All precinct board members must sign the certification after voting and again after counting the votes.

Example

A precinct board in a town sets up the voter list for an election. They put a spot for each voter’s signature, the voter’s home address, a warning about voting crimes, and a certification box for voters who didn’t vote or were turned away. After the polls close, all board members sign the certification that the list and the ballot count are correct.

The board follows the rule by adding the required items to the list, then after counting votes they all sign the paperwork saying the numbers match and no one voted illegally.
