Legal Definitions - tellers committee

A tellers committee is a group of individuals who assist the chair in conducting an election or vote. They distribute and collect ballots, count the votes, and report the results to the chair for announcement.

For example, during a student council election, a tellers committee may be appointed to ensure a fair and accurate vote count. The committee members would distribute ballots to the voters, collect them after the vote, and count the votes to determine the winner.

The tellers committee plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the voting process and maintaining the trust of the organization or group conducting the election.
