§ 2.12.080. Election inspectors.

A.

At the regular common council meeting in December of each odd-numbered year, the mayor shall nominate persons to serve as election inspectors. The number of election inspectors shall be determined as necessary by the city clerk to adequately staff each election, and to reduce the number of election inspectors to an odd number of not less than three at any given election held within the city of Juneau. The common council shall immediately approve or disapprove such nominations. If they disapprove any such nominee, the mayor shall immediately nominate another person. For a vacancy caused by sickness, or any other reason, the city clerk shall appoint a substitute, which shall be in effect for that day only.

B.

There may be two shifts for election inspectors on all election days. The first shift shall commence at six-thirty a.m. and end at one-thirty p.m. The second shift shall commence at one-thirty p.m. and end with the completion of all required election day duties that follow the closure of the polls.

C.

Section 7.30(1)(b) of the Wisconsin State Statutes allows each municipality to appoint one additional inspector to serve at each polling place, without regard to party affiliation, who shall serve as a greeter to answer questions and to direct electors to the proper locations for registration and voting, and who shall be available to substitute for other election inspectors who must leave the room during the voting process.
