Election bureau prepares for Nov. 8
The heat is on at Butler County’s Bureau of Elections, as employees tirelessly prepare for the general election Nov. 8, according to county solicitor Wil White.
Preparations start earlier than one would think, White said, with the bureau pondering this next election since June.
“On average you spend about a full month after an election doing things from the preceding election; internal audits, clean up, recounts,” he said. “I’d say we started on this election six weeks to two months after the preceding election.”
The end of October seems to be the busiest time for his staff, which includes a director, assistant director, poll coordinator, four registrars and two part-time employees.
White also said residents can come to the Bureau of Elections, 124 West Diamond Street, Floor LL of the Butler County Government Center, and request a mail-in ballot until Nov. 1.
