PLACERVILLE, Calif. \u2014\u00a0 William \u201cBill\u201d Schultz<\/a>, a U.S. Navy veteran and longtime public servant who helped guide El Dorado County\u2019s elections into the modern era, passed away on Nov. 28 at age 92 surrounded by family and friends. He was widely known in county offices, veterans\u2019 circles, and on the tennis courts he loved, where his competitive spirit endured well into his later years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Born in 1933 into a military family, Schultz advanced from county roles to election leadership, where he ensured compliance with the Help America Vote Act, improving voter access and accuracy.<\/div>\n

Born with a quiet steadiness that would become his hallmark, Bill served in the United States Navy before beginning a decades-long career in public service. In El Dorado County he held several key roles, including Recorder-Clerk and Registrar of Voters, positions in which he became instrumental to the evolution of the county\u2019s voting systems. Colleagues recall that during his tenure the county implemented updated, auditable paper ballot procedures and expanded access for voters overseas, including active-duty military personnel serving abroad \u2014 a mission close to his heart.<\/p>\n

Friends say Bill\u2019s leadership style was calm, pragmatic, and marked by an unwavering belief that government should work reliably for the people it serves. Election observers often remembered him as the official with \u201cthe steady hand,\u201d guiding the system through technical upgrades and unexpected hiccups with professionalism and a touch of dry humor.<\/p>\n

Bill was also deeply committed to veterans\u2019 causes. He was a supporter of the El Dorado County Veterans Monument and was known for reminding the community that honoring service members was not symbolic \u2014 it was personal.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cToday we are here to deliver two simple words to veterans: Thank you,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

he said at the monument\u2019s dedication, a line that community members still recall.<\/p>\n

Outside his roles in service and administration, Bill found joy in the simple rhythm of the tennis court. Even as the years advanced, he kept a racket in his hand and a determined spark in his eye, never losing the sense of competition and camaraderie the sport brought him.<\/p>\n

Bill Schultz served in the county in roles including Recorder-Clerk and Registrar of Voters; county documents list his name in official elections planning materials during the late 2000s and early 2010s as the county moved to modern, paper-based optical-scan systems and strengthened canvass procedures. By 2016 he was publicly identified in news coverage as the county\u2019s Registrar when the office investigated a mis-mailed vote-by-mail ballot. \u201cWe had no idea,\u201d Schultz told reporters at the time as county staff worked with the U.S. Postal Service to trace the errant ballot.<\/p>\n

County election<\/a> plans and oversight documents from the period show El Dorado participating in state and regional efforts to update voting technology and procedures \u2014 including measures to improve the integrity and accessibility of ballots and to support the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) processes that help service members vote from abroad. Those documents form part of the public record that historians and election officials point to when tracing the county\u2019s shift to modern, auditable paper systems. Regional grant programs and county election planning at the time also referenced electronic or web-based ballot delivery and military absentee assistance that counties used to increase access for overseas voters.<\/p>\n

Veterans leadership and community service.\u00a0 Beyond elections, Schultz was active in veterans affairs in El Dorado County. He spoke at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument dedication and was listed among founders and leaders who helped bring the monument and veterans\u2019 events to life.<\/p>\n

On personal life and community recollections<\/strong>
Family and community posts supplied to local outlets say Schultz remained active into his later years; the user who provided material for this story notes he was an avid tennis player even in his later years.\u00a0 His failing eyesight did not keep him from the court.<\/p>\n

Death notices and records –\u00a0<\/strong>
\u201cHe died very peacefully,\u201d widow Mary Ann Kirk told the Mountain Democrat Monday. They had been married for 30 years. She shared that Schultz suffered a stroke on Nov. 26 and passed mid-morning Friday at a Roseville hospital.<\/p>\n

What colleagues say<\/strong>
County election observers and veterans\u2019 leaders who worked with Schultz point to steady, practical leadership during periods of technical transition.<\/p>\n

Why it matters to Local voters<\/strong>
Modern election systems and reliable absentee and overseas voting procedures directly affect turnout and voter confidence. Local officials who oversaw those transitions \u2014 and who worked to preserve both accessibility and auditability \u2014 left tools behind that current election officials still rely on when conducting votes and canvasses. Documents related to the county\u2019s Elections Operations Plan and Registrar\u2019s office procedures provide an accessible record of those institutional changes.<\/p>\n

Bill<\/a> leaves behind a legacy defined by integrity, civic duty, and a lifelong commitment to those who served. His imprint on El Dorado County\u2019s election systems will continue to shape how residents vote, and his dedication to veterans will continue to resonate at community gatherings and ceremonies for years to come.<\/p>\n

He will be missed by family, friends, colleagues<\/a>, the veterans whose service he honored, and the many residents who cast ballots through the systems he helped build.<\/p>\n

A memorial service will be announced by the family. In lieu of flowers, they ask that donations be made to local veterans organizations \u2014 a cause Bill spent his life supporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
