Appointment of election inspectors, poll clerks and election\ncoordinators shall be made by boards of elections.\n 5. If a political party shall fail to submit a list or the list shall\nbe exhausted, the board of elections shall request from the appropriate\npolitical party an original or supplemental list. If after ten days no\nlist is filed by that party, the board of elections may appoint\nqualified persons, enrolled members of the political party in default,\nto act as election inspectors, poll clerks or election coordinators.\n 6. If election districts are altered or new districts created, the\nboard of elections shall have the power to transfer election inspectors\nand poll clerks in such districts; and if vacancies exist as a result of\nsuch action, those vacancies shall be filled in the manner provided by\nthis section.\n 7.
