5. ISSUES OF CONCERN/PARKING LOT ISSUES
a) Election Law states: 102.10. Tabulating and Securing Ballots Section A. Machine Counted
Ballots 102.10-2. At least six (6) Election Board members shall sign the election totals, which
shall include the tape signed by the members of the Nation before the polls were opened per
section 102.9-3(a).
Election Board recommends reducing number of Election Board members needed to five(5) in
Oneida and four (4) in Milwaukee which will produce a cost savings and eliminate the need for
alternates except when needing to replace those Board members needing to recuse themselves
or posting for alternates to work shifts onlection
e
days.

alternates except when needing to replace those Board members needing to recuse themselves
or posting for alternates to work shifts onlection
e

5. ISSUES OF CONCERN/PARKING LOT ISSUES
a) Election Law states: 102.10. Tabulating and Securing Ballots Section A. Machine Counted
Ballots 102.10-2. At least six (6) Election Board members shall sign the election totals, which
shall include the tape signed by the members of the Nation before the polls were opened per
section 102.9-3(a).
Election Board recommends reducing number of Election Board members needed to five(5) in
Oneida and four (4) in Milwaukee which will produce a cost savings and eliminate the need for
alternates except when needing to replace those Board members needing to recuse themselves
or posting for alternates to work shifts onlection
e
days.

a) Election Law states: 102.10. Tabulating and Securing Ballots Section A. Machine Counted
Ballots 102.10-2. At least six (6) Election Board members shall sign the election totals, which
shall include the tape signed by the members of the Nation before the polls were opened per
section 102.9-3(a).
Election Board recommends reducing number of Election Board members needed to five(5) in

alternates except when needing to replace those Board members needing to recuse themselves
or posting for alternates to work shifts onlection
e
