19-1615. Appointment of judges; new precincts.
In case in any township there shall be two or more election precincts,
and in any of said precincts there shall not reside any authorized judge of
election, the township trustee of the township shall appoint three
judges of election to make such registration. In case in any voting
precinct there shall not be a full board of authorized judges of
election, the authorized judges of election residing in such voting
precinct shall appoint judges from the voters of such precinct to fill
such vacancy; and in case a new voting precinct shall be formed by the
division or organization of a new township, or otherwise, the judges of
the election in the new voting precinct thus formed may make their
registry of the electors on the day prescribed by this act, in such
manner as a majority of them may direct, and for that purpose may make a
list, or cause to be made a certified copy of the duplicate poll books
of the township in which such new voting precinct is situated, or out of
which it may have been created, or they may dispense with such list or
lists, and proceed to make a register of electors from the best means at
their command. Said lists shall only embrace the names of such persons
as are known to them to be qualified electors of their voting precinct,
and shall be posted up, copies thereof made, and the original filed as
prescribed in the preceding section, and shall be corrected in the same
manner that other lists are corrected.
