Currently, only the county or city chairman is permitted to make such a designation. The bill also provides that a designation made by the state or district chairman does not take precedence over a designation made by the county or city chairman. Such authorized representatives are allowed to remain in the room while the election is conducted and to be present when voting equipment is examined prior to the polls' opening, when election results are ascertained, and when the validity of provisional votes is determined.
