Dear Colleagues

Does anyone know of a source on the types of selection procedures of local election administators across states 
and localities in the U.S.?  I.e. I am interested in whether local registrars are appointed by state or local officials 
(and if those officials are elected), whether they are civil service or non civil service employees, and the extent 
that partisanship is allowed or part of the process of administrator appointment.  Thanks, Becky
