16-533. Filling vacancy in election board by
electors


If the board of supervisors fails to appoint the board of election, or if all
members appointed do not attend at the opening of the polls on the morning of the
election, the members of the election board of the precinct present at that hour may fill
the board or supply the place of an absent member thereof from the list of alternate
election board members supplied by the county chairman of the political party from which
another election board member is needed to maintain a political party balance. Such
alternate board member is not required to be a qualified elector in the precinct for
which the election board is serving.
