Rule 10.09 Elections - Duties of Clerk

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When a court election happens, the clerk in charge of running it must handle ballots electronically. This means voting and sending out ballots are done online or through electronic systems instead of paper methods.

The clerk can't just set up any system they want. The procedures for this electronic voting must be created together with the state courts administrator. On top of that, the Missouri Supreme Court has to approve the final process before it can be used.

In short, this rule makes sure elections are run consistently across the state. It also adds a layer of oversight, so no single clerk decides how voting works on their own. The state courts administrator and the Supreme Court both have to sign off first.
