242.070 Committee to nominate officers and certify challengers, witnesses and
guards.
Not more than twenty (20) days prior to an election, any group of citizens that in good
faith favors or opposes the proposition to be submitted may file with the chairman of the
county board of elections a petition asking that it be recognized as the committee entitled
to nominate election officers and to certify challengers, witnesses to the counting of the
votes and certification of the results, and guards to assist in guarding the boxes containing
the votes which have been cast during the period which the group desires. If more than
one (1) group claims the right to nominate election officers and certify challengers,
witnesses and guards, the county board of elections shall promptly decide and publicly
announce which committee is entitled to nominate officers and certify challengers,
witnesses and guards. That decision shall not be final, but any aggrieved party may appeal
to the county judge/executive, and upon hearing the county judge/executive shall
determine which group shall be recognized.
