Election Inspectors

Election inspectors are the keepers of democracy and are crucial to efficient and honest elections. Election inspectors proudly conduct elections with accuracy, integrity, and dignity. Election inspectors are appointed every two years in the Town of Neenah.

Did you know that Wisconsin law requires every employer to grant an unpaid leave of absence to each employee who is appointed to serve as an election inspector? If an employee provides the employer with at least seven (7) days notice before they are scheduled to serve as an inspector, an employee is entitled to an unpaid leave of absence to serve as an election inspector.  The leave is for the entire 24-hour period of each Election Day in which the employee serves as an election inspector. [Wis. Statute 7.33(3)]
