Sec. 15.10.170. APPOINTMENT AND PRIVILEGES OF WATCHERS.

The precinct party committee, where an organized precinct committee exists, or the district party committee where no organized precinct committee exists, or the state party chairman where neither precinct nor district committee exists, may appoint one or more persons as watchers in each precinct and counting center for any election. Each candidate not representing a political party may appoint one or more watchers for each precinct or counting center in the candidate's respective district or the state for any election. Any organization or organized group that sponsors or opposes an initiative, referendum or recall may have one or more persons as watchers at the polls and counting centers after first obtaining authorization from the director. No state party chairman, no precinct party committee, no district committee or candidate not representing a political party or organization or organized group may have more than one watcher on duty at a time in any precinct or counting center. The watcher may be present at a position inside the place of voting or counting which affords a full view of all action of the election board and other counters taken from the time the polls are opened until the ballots are finally counted and the results certified by the election board or the data processing review board. The election board or the data processing review board may require each watcher to present written proof showing appointment by the precinct party committee, the district party committee, the organization or organized group or the candidate watcher represents which is signed by the chairman of the precinct party committee, the district party committee, the state party chairman, the organization or organized group or the candidate representing no party.
