ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
May e, 1980
On March 13, 1980 you asked whether Mrs. Evelyn Stewart
had a conflict of interest serving as a counter clerk in the
office of the Sharon City Treasurer and a judge of elections.
The Commission Act 63 of 1979 which amended the Act of
June 3, 19:37 (P.L. 1333 No. 320) removed judges of elections
and inspectors of elections from the category of candidate
to a public office. By Regulations published April 19, 1980,
the Commission stated that persons in clerical positions are
not covered by Act 170.
Therefore, Miss Stewart holds no position covered by
Act 170 and not have a conflict under that Act in con-
tinuing to hold both positions.
