Pulaski County is to get state monitors for
upcoming elections. The state Board of Elections ruled yesterday
that one monitor will be sent to Maumelle`s special sales tax
election on February tenth.
The board also sent a letter to the Pulaski County Election
Commission asking it which polls it wants watched during the May
18th primary. The Pulaski County commission director said
commissioners would wait until after the Maumelle election to meet
and decide.
The request for the monitors came earlier this month from
prosecutor Larry Jegley, who argued that state observation is
necessary. Jegley has filed a petition in circuit court seeking the
removal of Pulaski County clerk Carolyn Staley. The clerk`s office
is in charge of maintaining voter rolls in the county.
