Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys Resigns Over Ballot Errors

Celestine Jeffreys resigned as the City Clerk of Green Bay on August 7, 2026. Her departure follows two separate instances of duplicated absentee ballots occurring in April and June, which prompted an investigation by the Wisconsin Elections Commission into the city's election processes.

Jeffreys served in the role for five years after being appointed by Mayor Eric Genrich in 2021. The resignation was delivered via a joint announcement from Jeffreys and the municipal government, though the official statement did not explicitly mention the ballot errors or the state investigation.
