The responsibilities of a town clerk can vary, depending on where she holds the office. Town clerks are among the senior staff of a town and usually have duties including maintenance of vital records, management of elections, and issuance of public notices.
In almost all cases, the actual title of the clerk reflects the type of municipality he or she works for, thus, instead of simply being known as the clerk, the position is generally referred to as the town clerk, township clerk, city clerk, village clerk, borough clerk, board secretary, or county clerk.
