SB 5667 - DIGEST

Declares an intent to make the position of county auditor, and of the chief elections official, however named, in all counties an elective office. This act therefore applies to all counties, including without limitation counties operating under a home rule charter.

**This provides a measure of accountability to the system, however we already have numerous elected auditors and that has not seemed to eliminate the problems.
