The Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the State Board of Elections, by mutual agreement, may petition Franklin Circuit Court to declare that an election crisis exists in a county where there is evidence of sufficient malfeasance, nonfeasance, or criminal activity to jeopardize a free and equal election in that county and to authorize the State Board of Elections to assume responsibility for the management of the election in that county. If Franklin Circuit Court makes that declaration and grant of authority, the State Board of Elections shall appoint an election manager for that county to serve for the duration of the election cycle and the county clerk, county board of elections, precinct election officers, and any other person participating in the election process in that county shall be subject to the direction of the election manager.
