⤴ Up to Part 3: County Election Board Responsibility For Processing Voter Registration Applications

Regulation Text

(a) The Secretary of the County Election Board shall cause all paper voter registration applications to be processed as soon as possible after they are received from the State Election Board or received in person from an applicant or from a third party on behalf of an applicant. Voter registration application processing shall include entering the information from the paper application form into MESA as required by (b) of this Section and in 230:15-9-18 and subsequently placing the voter registration application form in the appropriate file.
(b) All paper voter registration applications shall be entered into MESA, including all those applications that are not signed or appear to omit one or more of the items of required information listed in 230:15-5-84 and that must therefore be rejected. All information provided by the applicant on the voter registration application form shall be entered into MESA.
(c) The Secretary of the County Election Board shall ensure that the person processing voter registration applications and entering the information in MESA is familiar with all voter registration rules and procedures and with the appropriate functions of the MESA voter registration software and also that the person is able to make appropriate decisions concerning incomplete or duplicate applications. In the event that temporary employees are used to enter applications into MESA during peak periods of registration activity, the Secretary shall establish a system to ensure that fully trained and qualified County Election Board employees are available to make decisions concerning processing of incomplete or duplicate applications.
