Elected Role Descriptions
Clerk of Courts:
The county clerk is responsible for filing vital records including documents related to a specific county's population, including birth, death and marriage certificates. Sometimes the Clerk of Courts is also responsible for preparing ballots, maintaining voting machines and training poll workers.
Lieutenant Governor:
In most cases, the lieutenant governor is the highest officer of state after the governor, standing in for that officer when they are absent from the state or temporarily incapacitated. In the event a governor dies, resigns or is removed from office, the lieutenant governor typically becomes governor.
Recorder of Deeds:
The Recorder of Deeds is a government office tasked with maintaining public records and documents, specifically ones relating to real estate deals including ownership rights, planning documents, mortgages and historical transactions.
Sheriff:
A sheriff is responsible for all law enforcement at a county level, ensuring that all local, state, and federal laws are followed. He or she performs a role similar to that of a police chief of a municipal department, managing the department in charge of protecting people and property and maintaining civil order.
