election inspectors at each polling location in the City. Alternate

or the equivalent may serve as an inspector at the polling place serving
the pupil's residence upon approval of the pupil's parent
or guardian and of the principal of the school in which the pupil
is enrolled. Such pupil may serve as an inspector only if at least
one inspector at the polling place, other than the Chief Inspector,
is a qualified elector of the state. No pupil may serve as Chief Inspector.
The City Clerk shall obtain written authorization of the principal
of the school where the pupil is enrolled for the entire term for
which the pupil is appointed. In addition, the City Clerk shall obtain
