           How Commissioners are Selected

              The Auditor of Public Accounts creates and advertises an application
              process. The Auditor then selects three pools of 20 applicants affiliated
              with: (1) the Republican party; (2) the Democratic party; and (3) neither
              of the two major parties.

              11 commissioners are then selected out of the applicant pools:

                 * Four commissioners (two Republicans and two Democrats) are
                    citizens appointed by majority and minority legislative
                    leadership.

                 *  One commissioner (not affiliated with either major party) is a
                    citizen randomly selected by the Auditor of Public Accounts.

                 * The six remaining commissioners (two from each partisan pool)
                    are citizens selected by the first five commissioners.
