A member of the state canvassing board who has anything of value bet or wagered on the result of the election may not serve on the board. When a member of the state canvassing board is a candidate or husband, wife, father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother, or sister, whether by birth or marriage, of the whole or the half-blood, of any candidate for any office for which that member canvasses the votes, the member must be removed from that portion of the canvass. If a quorum still exists, the remaining members shall canvass the votes for that office. If a quorum does not exist, another state officer, summoned according to the authorization granted the state canvassing board in section 16.1-15-33, shall canvass the votes for that office.
