Republican election inspectors play a key role at polling locations across the state by:
✅ Managing ballots and official election documents.

How are election inspectors selected?
According to Wisconsin State Statutes, §7.30(4), the Mayor, President or Board Chairperson of the municipality is required to nominate election inspectors to the governing body no later than the last regular meeting in December of odd-numbered years. The governing body of the municipality appoints the election inspectors for a two-year term before December 31. The nominees are to come first from lists submitted by the two dominant political parties, which are due no later than November 30 of odd numbered years, and the lists may be supplemented at any time. Local party chairpersons are responsible for submitting these lists of names to the Mayor, President, or Board Chairperson of the municipality, for each polling place. If a local party does not submit a list, or does not submit enough names, the Mayor, President, or Board Chairperson may nominate qualified individuals on a non-partisan basis, without regard to party affiliation. The lists may also designate individuals as first choice nominees, who must be appointed first. The party has sole discretion to determine nominee criteria. When the Democratic and Republican parties’ lists are received, the clerk must adhere to “party imbalance” at each polling place. Party imbalance means that the party whose candidate for the Office of Governor or President at the last general election received the most votes at the polling place will have one more election inspector at that polling place than the other party.

How is a partisan election inspector different from an unaffiliated election inspector?
➡️ Republican-nominated inspectors are prioritized over non-partisan applicants.
➡️ Republican nominees are scheduled ahead of non-affiliated workers for duties.
➡️ Republican nominees can be trained for critical roles like Early In-Person Absentee Voting and Special Voting Deputies serving in nursing homes, care facilities, and at early voting sites.
