Training Compliance of County Boards of Voter Registration and Elections

Members of county voter registration boards are appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the legislative delegation of the county. County boards must be between five to nine members and board members must be qualified electors of the county. The term of office for board members is four years and until a successor is appointed and qualified. The county board is responsible for hiring a director. The county director is responsible for hiring and managing staff of the county elections office.

State law requires board members and staff to complete a State Election Commission (SEC) training and certification program within 18 months of their appointment, reappointment, or employment. After successful completion, they receive a certification from the SEC. After initial certification, board members and designated staff must complete at least one training course annually. If a board member fails to complete the program, the Governor must remove them unless an extension is granted due to exceptional circumstances.

The certification status of each board member and county elections director is listed below and can be downloaded as an excel spreadsheet. Updates to this list are made quarterly. The last update was made on 1/2/2024.

  • Compliant – certified with completed class requirements.
  • In Progress – not yet completed class requirements but still within 18 months of appointment, reappointment, or employment.
  • Non-compliant – have not completed class requirements.
