[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Centuria 3-13-2006 as Title 2, Ch. 1, §§ 2-1-1 through 2-1-4, of the 2006 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village of Centuria is a body corporate and politic with the powers of a municipality at common law and governed by the provisions of Chs. 61 and 66, Wis. Stats., laws amending those chapters, other acts of the Legislature and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin.
A. 
Candidates for elective office; nomination papers.
(1) 
Nomination papers for elective offices shall be signed by not less than 20 nor more than 100 electors of the Village.
(2) 
Nomination papers for elective offices shall be circulated not sooner than the 1st day of December preceding the election and shall be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer not later than 5:00 p.m. the first Tuesday in January; or the next day, if Tuesday is a holiday.
B. 
Primary elections. Candidates for all elective Village offices shall be nominated by nonpartisan primary election conducted as directed by Ch. 8, Wis. Stats., so far as applicable, and specifically in accordance with § 8.05(4)(b), Wis. Stats.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. IV)]
Polling for elections shall be held in the Centuria Village Hall, which shall be open 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, 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.
