House Bill 567 |
House Author: Miller, Sid |

Effective: 9-1-09 |
Senate Sponsor: Fraser |
Previous law declared a person ineligible to serve as an election judge or clerk in any election if the person was a candidate for a public office in an election to be held on the same day. House Bill 567 amends the Election Code to establish that a candidate for a contested public or party office is ineligible to serve, in an election to be held on the same day as that election, as an election judge or clerk in any precinct in which the office sought is to be voted on. The bill exempts from this provision a county clerk or a candidate for precinct chair declared elected as an unopposed candidate.
