Election Commissioner

 At the backbone of our whole political system is people’s right to vote.  The Election Commissioner assists in that right by maintaining the state’s election records and assisting county officials with conducting federal, state and district elections.  The department also works hand in hand to ensure compliance with all state and federal election laws.

The County Clerk’s Office does a wide variety of duties.  The County Clerk is secretary of the Board of Commissioners and is the custodian of all county board records.

Other Office functions include county payroll, accounts payable, marriage licenses, tobacco & liquor licenses, and military discharges.
