It is a bipartisan board consisting of three full members; it is now looking for a new full member and two alternate members.
A candidate must be a U.S. Citizen, currently live in Salt Lake County, and have been a Salt Lake County resident for at least one year. Terms for full members last for 3 years, and terms for alternate members last for up to
