House Author: Kolkhorst |

Senate Sponsor: Campbell |
Previous law prohibited a person from serving as an election judge or clerk in an election if the person is employed by or related within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity to an opposed candidate for the party office of county chair in the election. House Bill 2110 amends the Election Code to make a person ineligible to serve as an election judge or clerk in an election if the person is employed by or related within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity to an opposed candidate for a party office in any precinct in which the office appears on the ballot. The bill requires each election officer in an election, following administration of the oath required at the polling place before polls open, to be issued a form of identification to be displayed by the officer during the officer's hours of service at the polling place.
