Article: Dane County seeks clarity on definitions of ‘election official,’ ‘task’ to complying with constitutional amendments
Dane County’s corporation counsel has asked Dem AG Josh Kaul for guidance on what constitutes an “election official” and a “task” when trying to implement new constitutional amendments voters approved in April.
Carlos Pabellón also argued “election official” should be defined by a law that states it’s “any individual who is charged with any duties related to the conduct of an election.” Otherwise, there’s the possibility that local clerks, their employees and others could be barred from running elections this fall.
Pabellón’s request last week for an attorney general’s opinion comes after voters approved two amendments during the April election. One barred the use of private funds to cover the public costs to administer an election. The second one restricts who may perform tasks in primaries, elections and referendums to “an election official designated by law.”
