§ 14104 Polling Place Ballot Delivery

This law says the elections official must make a receipt for each polling place that lists the ballot packages and delivery date, have the precinct board member sign it when they get the packages, and then get the signed receipt back. It also lets messengers deliver the ballots and requires the elections official to set a fair pay for them, paid like other election costs.

Key Takeaways

•A receipt must be made for each polling place listing the ballot packages and delivery date.
•The precinct board member must sign the receipt when they receive the packages and return it.
•Messengers can be used to deliver the ballots safely and quickly.
•The elections official sets a reasonable pay for messengers, paid like other election costs.

Example

The county elections official sends three ballot boxes to a small town precinct. A messenger drives them there, hands them to the precinct board member, who signs the receipt and sends the signed copy back to the elections official.

The receipt shows what was sent and when, the board member’s signature proves they got the boxes, and the messenger gets paid a reasonable amount set by the elections official, just like other election expenses.

The elections official shall prepare a receipt for each polling place, enumerating the packages and stating the date of delivery to the precinct board member. The precinct board member shall sign the receipt upon receipt of the packages. The signed receipt shall be returned to the elections official. Messengers may be employed to insure the safe and expeditious delivery of the ballots. The elections official shall fix a reasonable compensation for the services of these messengers, to be paid in the same manner as other election expenses. (Enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2.)
