(a) The county chairman of each political party may
certify poll watchers prior to the day of the election to serve
in each polling place. Not more than one (1) poll watcher from

represents and shall be a registered elector residing in the
county. A poll watcher shall serve only at the polling place
designated on the certificate. A poll watcher is authorized to
observe voter turn out and registration and may make written

activities or disrupt the polling process.
(c) The chief judge may remove a poll watcher from the
polling place for disturbing the polling place, or for any other
violation of the Election Code.
