RE: Amendment to City Charter Pertaining to Poll Worker Selection Procedure for
City Elections
As proposed by the City Clerk, following is an amendment to the City Charter (an
amending ordinance) which will provide an alternative to the City Commission, to allow for
delegation of the poll worker selection process for City elections to the Broward County
Supervisor. Presently, such delegations are accomplished on an election -by-election basis,
pursuant to separate agreements between the requesting city and the Supervisor's office. When
this option is selected by the City Commission, all authority for poll worker assignments will
be transferred to the Election Supervisor, who will have sole discretion as to assignments.
This is ready for City Commission consideration.
