Item No. 12 1 J J1
Date: May 4, 2012
Item/Subject: ORDER, Appointing Election Clerks
Responsible Department: City Clerk
Commentary: Election Clerks are appointed each General Election Year for a two-year term
by the Municipal Officers. Under the elections law, The Municipal Officers shall appoint at least
one Election Clerk from each major political party to serve at each voting place during the time
the polls are open. The Municipal Officers shall consider persons nominated by the major parties
but are not required to appoint them. If a municipal committee of a major party does not submit
nominations, the municipal officers may appoint registered voters enrolled in that party. The law
does not prohibit nominations from sources other than the municipal party committees. If a
minor party committee nominates election clerks, at least one appointment must be made from
the minor party nominations. The balance between the major parties can be no more than 1
additional clerk from either party. Additional un -enrolled or qualified minor election clerks may
be appointed if there are insufficient major party clerks available. If there are not sufficient
election clerks to fill vacancies for a specific election, the Clerk or Warden may appoint election
clerks for that specific election.
