Introduced Text

Allows townships to contract with an accredited individual to perform election duties in the absence of a township clerk.

Michigan SB0833 amends the state's election law to allow townships to contract with an accredited individual to perform election duties when the township clerk or a deputy is unavailable. The contracted individual must be a registered elector of the township and must have the same powers and authority as a deputy township clerk. They must also report to the township board at each regularly scheduled meeting. This change aims to ensure that election functions continue smoothly even when the township clerk is not available.
