2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 9-15a. Membership and quorum of board for admission of electors.
Sec. 9-15a. Membership and quorum of board for admission of electors. (a)
The board for admission of electors in each town shall consist of the town clerk and the
selectmen, provided the legislative body of any town may, at any time, except during
the period of eight weeks prior to a regular election, vote to change the membership of
such board to consist of (1) the town clerk, the selectmen and the registrars of voters or
(2) the town clerk and the registrars of voters. For the purposes of this section, the term
"registrars of voters", in a town where there are different registrars of voters for different
voting districts, means the registrars of voters in the voting district in which, at the last-preceding election, the presiding officer for the purpose of declaring the result of the
vote of the whole town was the moderator.
(c) A quorum of the board for the admission of electors shall consist of a bare majority of the members of such board. An assistant town clerk or a deputy registrar or any other town officer designated by, and acting for, a member of such board pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) shall be included as a member of such board for purposes of ascertaining the existence of a quorum.
(d) This section shall supersede any inconsistent provision of any charter or special act.

(a) by inserting "the" before "moderator"; P.A. 83-391 amended Subsec. (b) to eliminate reference to sessions of board for the admission of electors.
