Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The county clerk
shall appoint two (2) or more election judges, one (1) of whom shall be
designated chief judge, and the number of clerks deemed necessary by him for
each polling place. In the event a single polling place is designated for two
(2) or more precincts, an individual may serve simultaneously on the election
board for two (2) or more precincts thus served by a single polling place. The
precinct committeemen shall recommend persons for the position in their
respective precincts to the county clerk in writing at least ten (10) days
prior to the date on which any appointment shall be made and the county clerk
shall appoint the judges from such lists if the persons recommended are
qualified.
The chief election judge shall be responsible for the conduct of the
proceedings in the polling place. Compensation for all election personnel
shall be determined by the board of county commissioners, and not less than
the minimum wage as prescribed by the laws of the state of Idaho.
Each election board shall contain personnel representing all existing
political parties if a list of applicants has been provided to the county
clerk by the precinct committeemen of the precincts at least sixty (60) days
prior to the primary election.
In order to provide for a greater awareness of the election process, the
rights and responsibilities of voters and the importance of participating in
the electoral process, as well as to provide additional members of precinct
boards, a county clerk may appoint not more than two (2) students per precinct
to serve under the direct supervision of election board members designated by
the county clerk. A student may be appointed, notwithstanding lack of
eligibility to vote, if the student possesses the following qualifications:
(1) Is at least seventeen (17) years of age at the time of the election
for which he or she is serving as a member of an election board.
(2) Is a citizen of the United States.
