Election Clause of Merger Act Considered in Local Vote
An electoral board would oversee elections if the city county merger is approved at the August 6 election. The clerk and recorder would direct early elections until the board is formed, with terms of four and two years for two members and a third member paid by the commissioners. The board members may serve short pre election periods and must not hold other county duties. The measure aims to place election conduct under direct public accountability and may redistrict precincts from 813 to about 60 per precinct limits.
