§ 7032 District Election Procedures

• •Elections follow the standard rules for general district elections.
• •The board of supervisors creates the voting precincts.
• •They choose the polling place(s).
• •They appoint the election board(s) that run the voting.
• •They are responsible for counting (canvassing) the election results.

In a small county, the board of supervisors draws the voting districts, decides that the high school gym will be the polling place, hires volunteers to staff the voting booths, and after Election Day they add up all the ballots.

Because the law gives the board of supervisors those duties, they are the ones who decide the precinct lines, the polling site, who runs the election, and they do the final vote count.
