If the missing information was proof of identification, the voter must appear in person.  If the missing information is the driver license or DOT issued ID number, they may mail, fax, email or telephone the information to the municipal clerk.

Yes.  Municipal clerks must be available at least until 5 p.m. on these deadlines.  If municipal clerks do not have set office hours, voters must be provided information where they may readily contact the municipal clerk.  If the municipal clerk will not be available, a deputy clerk must be appointed to provide coverage.

On election day, the polling place is under the control of the election inspectors.  The clerk is an election administrator and has other duties on election day outside of the polling place.  Therefore, the Government Accountability Board does not advise that a municipal clerk serve as an election inspector.  If the municipal clerk must serve as an inspector, he or she must be appointed an an inspector and may not be a candidate at the election.  3/24/2003

The municipal clerk is an election administrator and, as such, should be available to the election inspectors on election day for advice, supplies, etc.  In addition, there are circumstances where a hospitalized elector or sequestered juror may request an absentee ballot from the clerk on election day.  Therefore, if the clerk is unable to be available on election day, a deputy should be appointed to act in the clerk's absence.  3/24/2003
