One in four election officials could leave profession by 2024, official says [View all]
JEFFERSON CITY — Around twenty-five percent of election officials plan to leave the profession, or already have, ahead of reelection this November, according to the president of the Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities.
"We haven't seen this level of drop-off," Shane Schoeller, the MACCEA president and Green County Clerk, said. "That, I think, from what we understand in this situation, is fairly unprecedented."
A recent survey from the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan policy institute, reported one in every five election officials nationwide say it's unlikely they will serve through the 2024 presidential election.
Among the reasons cited, many cited political attacks on the election process, stress, and retirement plans as their justification to leave the profession.
