Mississippi Advisory Opinions June 20, 1986: 19860620 (June 20, 1986)

Advisory Opinion Text

Honorable Tina Ryals

Circuit Clerk

Post Office Box 765

Winona, MS 38967

Elections Commissioners

Dear Mrs. Ryals:

Attorney General Edwin Lloyd Pittman has received your letter of request and has assigned it to me for research and reply.

Your letter states:

“One of our City appointed Election Commissioners would like to be a poll worker for the county and state elections. Is this permissible?”

In response to your inquiry, since a municipal election commissioner has no duties in connection with county and state elections, this office knows of no prohibition against a county party executive committee or county election commission appointing a municipal election commissioner to serve as a poll worker in said elections.

Very truly yours,

Edwin Lloyd Pittman, Attorney General.
