[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Athens 11-22-2004 as §§ 2-1-2,
2-1-3 and 2-1-4 of the 2004 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Amended 8-28-2006[1]]
The voting polls in the Village of Athens, Marathon County,
shall be opened from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for all elections.
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, the Village
Clerk shall have the power to limit the number of election officials.
The Village Clerk 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 Village Clerk shall further redistribute
duties among the remaining 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.
Pursuant to § 8.10, Wis. Stats., the Village of Athens
elects to dispense with the use of the caucus system for nominating
candidates for Village elected office and instead use the nomination
papers system.
