The Election Clerk sought a resolution for the appointment of election judges for the special election on April 14th, 2026. This action was described as a routine procedure, similar to past elections, to ensure the smooth operation of the electoral process.
Notable Quotes (2)
I was on the policy committee that reviewed these and they came up for review just cuz it's part of our cycle and I don't believe there were any major changes, so we're pretty much just approving what was there already.
Aside from Director Little, this feels like déjà vu, but we are again hiring election clerks to work the April 14th election, similar to in fashion to the way we did in November.
