City of Platteville Needs Pollworkers For November 3 Election

City Clerk Candace Klaas and Deputy City Clerk Colette Steffen are calling on residents of Platteville willing to serve as poll workers for the November 3 Election to replace poll workers who are unable to serve due to age or health concerns related to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

“We need the people of Platteville to step up and help out,” said City Clerk Klaas. “If you are a state, county or municipal employee, a teacher, a student or someone who is looking for temporary work, we need your help.”

In Wisconsin, election inspectors are appointed at the municipal level.  Anyone who is interested in working should contact the clerk’s office immediately at (608) 348-1823.

Wisconsin law also allows people to serve as election inspectors in other municipalities within their county. If you are willing to serve in a municipality outside of your own, let your clerk know and they can alert the county about your availability.  You can also contact the county directly and can find contact information for county clerks here: https://elections.wi.gov/clerks/directory.

Municipal clerks will provide training for any new election inspectors before the election.
