HOUSE BILL No. 4678

 

 

May 24, 2019, Introduced by Rep. Yaroch and referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics.

 

     A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled

 

"Michigan election law,"

 

by amending section 683 (MCL 168.683), as amended by 2018 PA 120.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 683. Each county clerk before each primary and election

 

shall, by some reliable means, notify the clerk of each township

 

and city in the county of a training school for election inspectors

 

to be held at a place designated by the county clerk within 20 days

 

before each primary, general, and special election. The township

 

and city clerks shall notify each election inspector appointed to

 

serve at that election of the time and place of the training

 

school. At the meeting, the county clerk shall instruct and

 

demonstrate the manner in which the duties of election inspectors

 

are required by law to be performed. It is the duty of the election

 

inspectors, so notified, to attend the meeting unless excused by

 

the county clerk for good cause. Compensation may be paid to them

 

by their respective municipalities at a rate as determined by the

 

governing bodies. An election inspector shall not serve in any

 

election unless he or she has within the last preceding 2 years

 

either attended an election school or has passed satisfactorily an

 

examination given by the election commission of the city or

 

township in which appointed. The examination is subject to the

 

approval of the secretary of state. This section does not prevent

 

the appointment of an election inspector to fill a vacancy. This

 

section does not prohibit any city or any township having a

 

population of 10,000 1,000 or more from conducting its own training

 

school for election inspectors of that city or township. If a city

 

or township conducts its own training school, election inspectors

 

who attend a city or township training school are not required to

 

attend the county training school.
