[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Argyle 12-7-2005 as Title 2, Ch. 1, Secs. 2-1-2, 2-1-3 and 2-1-4, of the 2005
Village Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Every candidate for an elective Village office shall be nominated
by use of a caucus as prescribed by § 8.05(1), Wis. Stats.
A. Election poll hours. The voting polls in the Village of Argyle, Lafayette
County, Wisconsin, shall be opened from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for
all elections.
B. Voter registration. All electors for all elections shall be required
to be registered. The Village Clerk-Treasurer shall receive applications
for registration at his/her office during regular office hours throughout
the year, except that registration may also be completed at Village
polling places on election days upon presentation of proper identification
and proof of residency.
A. Pursuant to the Wisconsin Statutes, there is hereby established one
set of election officials to conduct all elections of the Village,
which shall consist of seven election inspectors. However, pursuant
to § 7.32, Wis. Stats., the Village Clerk-Treasurer is authorized
to reduce the number of election officials, provided that no such
action may reduce the number of officials at a polling place to less
than three. The Clerk-Treasurer shall determine in advance of each
election whether the number of election officials for such election
should be reduced from the number prescribed by the Wisconsin Statutes,
and if such a reduction is so determined, the Clerk-Treasurer shall
further redistribute duties among the remaining officials. Pursuant
to § 7.32, Wis. Stats., the Village Clerk-Treasurer is hereby
authorized to reduce the number of election officials for all elections
to three officials.
B. Because § 7.30(1), Wis. Stats., allows for the creation
of alternate or two sets of election officials to work at different
times on election day, the Village Board authorizes the selection
of alternate and/or two sets of election officials to staff the polls
on election day. The Clerk-Treasurer is hereby authorized to schedule
election officials in shifts on any said election day. The Village
Clerk-Treasurer shall redistribute the duties of such election officials.
