B. Number of election officials.
(1) The Town Clerk shall be authorized to employ election officials (poll
workers and tabulators) for each election sufficient to conduct said

that two sets of election officials may be used at different times
at any one election with the total number of election officials working
at one time to be an odd number.
(2) The Town Clerk shall have the power to limit or reduce the number
of election officials. The Town 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 Town Clerk shall further
redistribute duties among the remaining officials.
(3) There shall be three inspectors at each polling place at each election.
When the Town Clerk determines that it is reasonable and proper to
do so, he/she may increase the number of inspectors at a polling place
to no more than seven.
C. Tabulators. The Town Clerk may deem it necessary from time to time
to select and employ tabulators for certain elections due to the high
projected voter turnout. Tabulators shall assist and be under the
direction of the election officials after the close of the polls.
The Town Clerk shall select and employ tabulators, if needed, for
any election.
