News » Non-stop elections keep clerks very busy
June 12, 2012
Even though the political world is focusing on the fall elections, municipal clerks are still surrounded by paperwork from last week's recall.
Appleton city clerk Char Peterson says they have to scan the codes of the nearly 31,000 people who voted into a state voter history database. She says they do that by going through the poll books, so they never know who someone voted for.
Peterson says they also have to put about 3,600 newly registered voters into the system.
Peterson says she just finished the canvass of the vote totals yesterday afternoon, and turned them into the Outagamie County clerk's office.
The next election is the August 14 primary, and Peterson says they have to start mailing absentee ballots by June 27.
Besides elections, clerks are also in charge of licenses, and the month of June is a busy one for that, because all liquor and bartender licenses have to be renewed. Peterson says they have to process about 1,000 of them. |
