MADISON, WI (WRN) – Wisconsin’s municipal clerks are asking to be vaccinated for COVID-19 before the spring election.
Wisconsin’s Municipal Clerks Association is lobbying to have clerks and poll workers added to the current vaccination group ahead of the April 6th election- saying it makes sense to protect those who may be exposed to a large number of people at once in a public setting.
This after clerks navigated as many as five elections last year- often times with inadequate PPE and without many veteran poll workers who chose not to put themselves in harm’s way.
Clerks were deemed essential last year as part of Governor Ever’s Safer at Home order.
