September 14, 2023 - Introduced by Senator LeMahieu.

SR4,1,2 Relating to: calling on the Wisconsin Elections Commission to appoint an election administrator.

SR4,1,4 Whereas, Meagan Wolfe's term as administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission expired on July 1, 2023; and

SR4,1,7 Whereas, the Wisconsin Elections Commission has a nondiscretionary statutory duty to appoint or reappoint an administrator at the expiration of the incumbent's term; and

SR4,1,10 Whereas, the failure to appoint an administrator would constitute a dereliction of the Wisconsin Elections Commission's nondiscretionary statutory duty and deprive the senate of its statutorily granted role of advice and consent; and

SR4,2,2 Resolved by the senate, That the Wisconsin State Senate calls on the Wisconsin Elections Commission to fulfill its nondiscretionary statutory duty to appoint an interim administrator and to submit a nomination for a permanent replacement.
