The primary job of the county election board is to administer the election process within the county. The county election board supervises and oversees the conduct of the General Election year primaries, the General Election in November, city primaries and elections, and in some cases, town primaries and elections. The county election board may also be called upon to conduct a special election in accordance with state law. In conducting an election, the county election board is responsible for preparing and distributing ballots, preparing the polling locations for election day, and maintaining the county’s voting systems and, if applicable, electronic pollbooks. The circuit court clerk may exercise these powers and duties with assistance of the appointed members of the county election board.
