Wis. Stat. § 6.45

Current through Acts 2023-2024, ch. 272
Section 6.45 - Access to registration list
(1) After the deadline for revision of the registration list, the municipal clerk shall make copies of the list for election use.
(1m) The registration list and any supplemental lists which are prepared at polling places or other registration locations under s. 6.55, shall be open to public inspection. Under the regulations prescribed by the municipal clerk, any person may copy the registration list at the office of the clerk. A registration list maintained at a polling place may be examined by any person who is observing the proceedings under s. 7.41 when such use does not interfere with the conduct of the election. This subsection does not apply to information that is confidential under s. 6.47.
(2) The municipal clerk shall furnish upon request to each candidate who has filed nomination papers for an office which represents at least part of the residents of the municipality one copy of the current registration list for those areas for which he or she is a candidate for a fee not to exceed the cost of reproduction. The clerk shall exclude information that is confidential under s. 6.47(2) from copies of the list, except as authorized under s. 6.47(8).

Wis. Stat. § 6.45

Amended by Acts 2013 ch, 166,s 2, eff. 3/29/2014.
1975 c. 85, 199; 1977 c. 394 s. 53; 1983 a. 484; 1989 a. 192; 1999 a. 49, 182; 2001 a. 38.

1999 Wis. Act 49 divided the then existing sub. (1) into subs. (1) and (1m), leaving only the 1st sentence above in sub. (1). As the result of an error in transcribing 1999 Wis. Act 49, the text in brackets incorrectly repeats the language of sub. (1m). Corrective legislation is pending.
