Elections; administration; chief deputy and other deputy registrars. Requires that each locality have one chief deputy registrar. The bill requires any chief deputy registrar serving on a full-time basis to be paid not less than 60 percent of the salary paid to the general registrar. The bill requires that any chief deputy registrar of a locality whose population is greater than 10,000 serve on a full-time basis and gives the general registrar in a locality whose population is 10,000 or less the authority to determine whether the chief deputy registrar serves on a full-time basis. The bill gives general registrars in all localities the authority to determine whether any other deputy registrar serves on a full-time or part-time basis and the authority to determine the terms of deputy registrars, including the chief deputy registrar. Under current law, requirements for employees in a registrar's office are determined on the basis of a population of 15,500 or less or more than 15,500 and some of the determinations are made by the electoral board rather than by the general registrar.
