The county election commission shall appoint registered voters of the county to constitute a central absentee ballot counting board to count the ballots cast under this chapter.
The board shall consist of one (1) officer of elections and three (3) judges appointed subject to § 2-4-104. To count the ballots properly and with reasonable speed the commission may, if necessary, appoint additional judges subject to § 2-4-105.
The board shall be assisted by the administrator of elections or other personnel of the county election commission.
The officer and judges shall be compensated at the same rate as other election officials.
The counting board shall be located at a location designated by the county election commission. Notice of the location shall be published in conjunction with the notice of election required by § 2-12-111(c) and shall not be changed except in the event of an emergency.
If the county election commission determines that there are fewer than one hundred (100) absentee ballots to be counted, the county election commission may act as the central absentee ballot counting board without additional compensation.
