Summary
Clarifies that when determining the number of assistant registrars to serve in the office of the general registrar, the electoral board may include any to serve full-time. Currently, Russell County is required to have at least one full-time assistant registrar; counties and cities with populations exceeding 15,500 are required to have at least one part-time assistant registrar; and counties and cities with populations less than 15,500 are required to have at least one substitute registrar. The bill does not amend any of those mandates.

What changed in the latest version
17 added · 23 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to Bill SB 152 clarify who is responsible for determining the number of assistant registrars and setting their terms. Previously, both the electoral board and the general registrar had roles in this process, but the amendment has streamlined it by placing these responsibilities solely with the general registrar. This change matters because it centralizes authority and may lead to more consistent management of electoral staff.
