2024-2266FILE RESOLUTION NO. 2024-2266 A Resolution Recognizing Election Inspectors for their 20 years or more of Conscientious Service to the Voters in the City of Janesville WHEREAS, election workers are temporarily recruited and trained to provide an invaluable function to our City on Election Day and the lead-up to it, and are one of this community’s most valuable resources; and WHEREAS, election workers are truly the unsung heroes of our democracy who are trained to provide on-site support to voters at Election Day polling places and during early in-person absentee voting. They are responsible for everything from registering and checking voters in, making sure voting machines are working properly, setting up and closing polling places, and delivering accurate election results to their clerk for reporting. WHEREAS, these individuals are on the front lines of elections and will interact with hundreds, if not thousands of voters throughout their work; and WHEREAS, it is rare to maintain election workers for a time period of twenty years or more; and WHEREAS, elections are also the foundation of our democracy who work tirelessly to protect this critical infrastructure while maintaining public confidence and trust in the outcome of our electoral processes; and WHEREAS, the individuals being recognized today have served through difficult political periods and during the COVID-19 pandemic that created complexities in the administration of elections requiring election officials to conduct accurate and timely elections while protecting the safety of election workers and the voting public; and WHEREAS, election officials and workers have met the challenges presented by presidential elections where the voting public, the media and the candidates place additional strain on the role they play in protecting and administering elections; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council for the City of Janesville, by this resolution recognize and show deep appreciation of all election officials who serve in elections, but especially the select few who have served in this capacity for 20 years or longer and thank all Election Officials for their time and service to the community; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council extends its appreciation and admiration for the election officials and staff members at the City of Janesville and the vital services that they perform in conducting elections and encourage all City of Janesville residents to be kind to all Election Officials at the polls and thank them when they go to vote!
