If the election authority deems any person on a list to be unqualified, the election authority may request the county committee which submitted the list to furnish another name.

The state chairperson of each established political party may, in jurisdictions where no county committee exists and where the county clerk is the election authority, submit a list of persons qualified to serve as election judges to the county clerk. The county clerk may select and appoint additional judges from such list pursuant to section 115.081.
