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.”

Article: County Purchases New Building for Voting Center Across from Courthouse
05/23/2023
Macoupin County voters will have a new place to early vote in person starting in 2024, County Clerk Pete Duncan announced recently. The County has purchased an office building just across the street from the Courthouse in Carlinville that will serve as the Macoupin Voting Center.
Utilizing the grant the Election Office received as being named one of the ten Centers for Election Excellence nationwide, Duncan worked with the County Board to purchase the building without using any taxpayer dollars. The grant covered the costs of the purchase and will cover the necessary upgrades and renovations to the building. For example, a ramp will need to installed for access to the main floor for better access to the public.
“I appreciate that the County Board agreed with me that using the Election Excellence grant, we should create a voting center as part of the Courthouse complex,” Duncan said. Voters who wish to vote early in person will now be able to utilize the parking right outside the building entrance, walk right in, and cast their ballot instead of trying to find parking around the Courthouse and going through the security entrance to get to the next floor up from the public entrance to vote.
