Repeals section 115.027 and enacts new section 115.038 governing boards of election commissioners composition and appointment procedures
-
Board of election commissioners shall consist of four members selected by the governor from candidates provided by the two major state political party committees
-
When a vacancy occurs, the relevant political party committee provides a list of three candidates and the governor selects one with senate advice and consent; if the vacancy is for chairman or secretary, the governor's selection also fills that position
