Article 3 - ELECTION OFFICIALS
Title 4 - (3-400 - 3-420) ELECTION INSPECTORS AND POLL CLERKS
3-416 - Election inspectors, poll clerks and election coordinators; removal.

§  3-416.  Election inspectors, poll clerks and election coordinators;
  removal. 1. Any election officer appointed pursuant to the provisions of
  this chapter,  may  be  removed  for  cause  by  the  board  making  the
  appointment.  Unless  such  removal  is for improper conduct, while such
  officer is actually on duty on the day of registration or  election,  it
  shall  occur  only after notice in writing to the officer to be removed.
  Such notice shall  set  forth  clearly  the  reasons  for  his  removal.
  Neglect  to  attend to the duties of the office shall be a cause for the
  removal of any such officer.
    2. It shall be the duty of the board  making  the  appointment  of  an
  election  officer,  to  remove forthwith such officer without preferring
  any charges and without notice to such officer, upon the written request
  of the official of the political party who certified the  name  of  such
  election  officer, or his successor. All such vacancies so created shall
  be filled in the same manner as the original appointment was  made.  Any
  election  officer  who shall at any time be appointed to fill a vacancy,
  shall have that fact stated in his certificate of appointment and  shall
  hold office only during the unexpired term of his predecessor.
    3.  Any  election inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator who is
  removed from office for cause shall forfeit the compensation  earned  up
  to the time of such removal.
    4.  An  election  inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator who is
  removed for cause shall be ineligible to again serve in  such  capacity;
  provided,  however,  that  the board of elections may rehear the charges
  against such person at any time and it may determine  that  such  person
  shall again be eligible for appointment if otherwise qualified.
