How political parties appoint election watchers
Each qualified political party can appoint one watcher at a time at a voter service center. Parties must submit watcher lists to the clerk by a set deadline before an election. Watchers must be registered voters, serve without pay, and report any election law violations they see.
The statute, as written — Appointment of watchers; service
(a) Each qualified political party shall be entitled to appoint no more than one watcher who may be present at any time at a voter service center. Each party shall submit its list of watchers no later than 4:30 p.m. on the twentieth day before any election to the clerk. All watchers shall serve without expense to the county. All watchers so appointed shall be registered voters. (b) Each watcher shall be provided with identification from the clerk stating the watcher's name and the name of the party the watcher represents. (c) The watcher shall call the attention of the clerk to any violations of the election laws that the watcher observes. After the clerk's attention is called to the violation, the clerk shall make an attempt to correct the violation. If the clerk fails to correct the violation, the watcher may appeal to the chief election officer.
