Elected Role Descriptions
Associate Justice:
An associate judge has the same judicial responsibilities with respect to cases as the chief judge, but typically has fewer or different administrative responsibilities.
Auditor:
The Auditor General is the chief fiscal watchdog of the commonwealth. This person is responsible for using annual audits to ensure that all government money is spent legally and properly.
Controller:
The controller is the chief financial officer and chief auditor of the local government. He or she exercises general supervision and control over the department's financial affairs and is authorized to examine the accounts and acts of all officials who collect, receive, or disperse government money.
Coroner:
A coroner is an official usually at the county level who is responsible for the investigation of deaths occurring within their specific jurisdiction. Specifically, coroners are responsible for conducting investigations to determine cause and mode of death.
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.
Prothonotary:
The prothonotary is the chief clerk and recordkeeper for all filings related to civil cases. This office is usually located within the county courthouse and responsible for the filing, recording and processing of all civil actions, judgments, all tax liens, family court matters, arbitrations, license suspension appeals, higher court appeals, commercial code filings, and passport applications.
