Opinion El.Bd. 81-2

A political party committee or legislative campaign committee may make direct disbursements to pay the recount-related expenses of a party candidate. The payment of these expenses will not count against the contribution limits set out in 11.26(9)(a), Stats., but must be reported pursuant to s.11.06(1), Stats. The candidate may also set up a separate fund to cover recount-related expenses which is not subject to the reporting requirements of s.11.06(1), Stats., but a registered political committee may not make any contributions to the fund. (Issued to David Travis, February 19, 1981)

Opinion El.Bd. 81-3 (Rev 7/20/1983)

An incumbent municipal clerk who is running for re-election should not be stationed at the polling place while ballots are being cast. This preserves the integrity of the election, removes the appearance of impropriety, and eliminates the opportunity to violate the statutory prohibitions on electioneering. (Issued to Jesse McKinnon, June 18, 1981)
