Re: 193-001 (R92-001)
Dear Senator Furman:
You  have   asked  several  questions   regarding  the
applicability of A.R.S. § 41-772, commonly referred to as the
state Hatch Act, to state employees' political activities
following the amendment of that section by Laws 1991 (1st Reg.
Sess.) Chapter 216 - Senate Bill 1325.     The 1991 amendments
liberalized the state Hatch Act to permit covered employees to
participate in some volunteer candidate campaign activities.
In answering your questions, we assume that the state employees
to whom you refer are covered employees who are subject to
A.R.S. § 41-772.1/
First, you inquired whether state employees may work
on an election board. The answer depends on the nature of the
position and the manner of appointment to the election board.
An election board for each precinct consists of two
judges and one inspector of elections.     A.R.S. § 16-531(A).
Also serving at each election precinct are a marshal and two
clerks.  Although you specifically asked about service on an
election board, we understand your question to also encompass
1/  A.R.S. § 41-771 lists the exempt personnel who
are not subject to any of the A.R.S. 5 41-772 restrictions on
political activity.
