Committee advances bill letting county poll managers staff polls in cities under 2,000
Summary
The committee reported out House Bill 630 to allow counties to assign qualified electors who are not city employees to work as poll managers in municipalities with fewer than 2,000 residents; the measure passed by voice vote.
Chair opened discussion on House Bill 630 and described the measure as a staffing fix for very small municipalities. "This bill will allow cities that have less than 2,000 people in them, for the last census to, have poll managers work the polls that may not work at that city," the chair said, explaining the employees must be qualified electors of the county.
Committee members asked no substantive questions and moved the bill under the motion "title sufficient, do pass." The chair recorded a voice vote: "All in favor, say aye." The committee reported the bill out with the chair stating, "The ayes have it." No vote tallies were provided in the transcript.
