50.21 - SPECIAL PRECINCT BOARD RECONVENED.

        50.21  SPECIAL PRECINCT BOARD RECONVENED.
         The commissioner shall reconvene the election board of the special
      precinct established by section 53.20 not earlier than noon on the
      second day following each election which is required by law to be
      canvassed on the Monday or Tuesday following the election.  If the
      second day following such an election is a legal holiday the special
      precinct election board may be convened at noon on the day following
      the election, and if the canvass of the election is scheduled at any
      time earlier than the Monday following the election, the special
      precinct election board shall be reconvened at noon on the day
      following the election.
         If no provisional ballots were cast in the county pursuant to
      section 49.81 at any election, the special precinct election board
      need not be so reconvened.  If the number of provisional ballots cast
      at any election is not sufficient to require reconvening of the
      entire election board of the special precinct, the commissioner may
      reconvene only the number of members required.  If the number of
      provisional ballots cast at any election exceeds the number of
      absentee ballots cast, the size of the special precinct election
      board may be increased at the commissioner's discretion.  The
      commissioner shall observe the requirements of sections 49.12 and
      49.13 in making adjustments to the size of the special precinct
      election board.
