Michael Gianasi, Clerk for Christian County has announced his resignation. Gianasi, who has held that position since 2017 submitted a letter of resignation to the Christian County Board late last week. Gianasi will be taking a job with the Illinois Board Of Elections in Springfield. Gianasi says he’s proud of all the work that his staff has done for the elections here in Christian County especially the last November election.

Gianasi says this move was a great opportunity for him to move up especially with the skillset that he brings.

Gianasi doesn’t know if he will get picked for any of the special projects, but says there are plenty of other activities that the State Board of Elections is involved in as well.

Gianasi thanked his staff and the many people that came and saw him during his time as Clerk in Christian County. 

Gianasi has offered a few suggestions for his replacement, but that will ultimately be up to the Democratic Party in Christian County Ben Curtin, to announce his replacement which will be voted on by the County Board. Gianasi’s term runs through November of 2022 and his last day is set for March 19th.
