The PA State Constitution, Article 7, § 11
Election Officers
District election boards shall consist of a judge and two inspectors, who shall be chosen at municipal elections for such terms as may be provided by law. Each elector shall have the right to vote for the judge and one inspector, and each inspector shall appoint one clerk. The first election board for any new district shall be selected, and vacancies in election boards filled, as shall be provided by law. Election officers shall be privileged from arrest upon days of election, and while engaged in making up and transmitting returns, except upon warrant of a court of record or judge thereof, for an election fraud, for felony, or for wanton breach of the peace. In cities they may claim exemption from jury duty during their terms of service.
Meet the PSAEBO State Chairman and State Chairman-Elect
State Chairman Peter J. Wirs
Pete Wirs has a long and storied career in politics and public service, dating back to 1973. Currently, he is the Judge of Elections for Philadelphia 59-22, which represents the Tulepehocken Station Historical District in the Germantown section of the city. As the incorporator, Wirs serves as the State Chairman until the election of both the State Chairman and State Chairman-Elect this year. Despite being terminally ill with Mitochondrial Disease, Wirs competes in the Masters Division of USA Wrestling and runs both the New York City and Philadelphia Marathons.
State Chairman-Elect
As PSAEBO is recently incorporated, elections for the PSAEBO Board of Directors must be held to complete the slate of state officers of PSAEBO. The State Chairman-Elect must be of the opposite party of the State Chairman (which if Wirs is reelected as State Chairman, the State Chairman-Elect must be a Democrat). The County Chairmen and County Chairmen-elect also elect three regional directors. These regions coincide with the Pennsylvania Federal District Court districts.
