Wisconsin Election Commission suggests government employees work at polls this November

Wisconsin’s Election Commission is suggesting local election managers look in the halls of government to find their poll workers for next month. The Commission’s Megan Wolfe on Monday sent a letter to Wisconsin’s nearly 2,000 local election clerks and commissions, suggesting government employees would make excellent poll workers in November.

“Any government employee who is eligible to serve as a poll worker will be allowed to do so without loss of fringe benefits or any other penalty for the entire 24-hour period of Election Day,” Wolfe wrote.
