What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law allows a pupil who is 16 or 17 years of age and who is enrolled in a public or private school or in a tribal school to be appointed by the municipal clerk to serve as an election inspector at the polling place serving the pupil's residence.
The pupil must have the approval of the pupil's parent or guardian and must have at least a 3.0 grade point average or the equivalent, unless the school board or governing body of the school establishes criteria for a pupil with a lesser grade point average to serve as an election inspector.
