Overview
This bill changes how precinct board members are selected in California counties. Currently, anyone can apply to be a precinct board member. This bill would allow counties to use a random selection system, with the plan needing approval from the county board of supervisors. It also expands eligibility, allowing more registered voters to be selected, but with exceptions for those 70 or older or facing undue hardship, and allows the elections official to disqualify unsuitable candidates. Selected members must complete training and reporting requirements.
