BACKGROUND:

Section 102.141(1)(d), Fla. Stat., establishes the composition of county canvassing boards and includes a member of the Board of County Commissioners as part of the canvassing board. Section 102.141 also authorizes the Board to select another of its members to serve as an alternate, or if another Board member is not available to serve as an alternate, the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court shall name a qualified elector as an alternate. On behalf of the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections, the County Attorney is requesting that the Board consider asking the Chief Judge to name one Board alternate to serve on the Canvassing Board should Commissioner Bender be unavailable.
