Summary

Existing law requires that each member of a precinct board be a voter of the county, except that an elections official may appoint not more than 5 pupils per precinct to serve under the direct supervision of designated board members, as specified. Among other qualifications, such a pupil must be a United States citizen or be a citizen at the time of the election for which he or she is serving as a member of the precinct board. This bill would additionally authorize an elections official to appoint a pupil who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States, as defined in federal law, to serve as a precinct board member.
