Leslie R. Swan <br /> Supervisor of Elections <br /> Indian River County <br /> Your Vote Is Your Voice—Speak Up! <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Members of the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br /> DATE: October 7, 2013 <br /> FROM: Leslie R. Swan <br /> Supervisor of Elections <br /> SUBJECT: 2014 Canvassing Board Member & Alternate <br /> I would like to take this opportunity to inform all members of the Board of County <br /> Commissioners about their responsibilities when serving as a canvassing board member. <br /> During each election cycle the county canvassing board shall preside over the canvassing of <br /> ballots. <br /> F.S. 102.141 states that "The canvassing board shall be composed of the supervisor of <br /> elections; a county court judge, who shall act as a chair; and the chair of the board of county <br /> commissioners." A canvassing board member may not serve if they are a candidate who has <br /> opposition in the election being canvassed, or is an active participant in the campaign or <br /> candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed. <br /> The most recent election reform passed by the Florida Legislature, F.S. 102.141, also <br /> includes the appointment of alternate canvassing board members. The Board of County <br /> Commissioners shall appoint a member of the board of county commissioners to serve as an <br /> alternate member of the county canvassing board. <br /> The new chairman of the Board of County Commissioners will not be selected until <br /> November 19th, therefore, I thought I would provide all commissioners with information noting <br /> the Indian River County canvassing board meeting dates, as well as, the date for the Canvassing <br /> Board Workshop hosted by the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections. <br /> 437543 rd Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32967 - (772) 226-3440 .
