Elections office: 9,483 mail-in ballots requested; in-person voting to run through May 13
Summary
The county’s elections update reported 9,483 mail-in ballot requests and 3,216 returns (about 34%). Officials reminded residents about in‑office voting, poll‑worker openings and the voter-registration deadline.
Colin, identified in the meeting as elections staff, told the Board of Commissioners April 30 that 9,483 mail-in ballots had been requested for the upcoming primary and that 3,216 of those ballots — about 34% — had been returned to date.
Colin said in-office voting would begin the day after the meeting and run through May 13, and he reminded commissioners that anyone wanting to register to vote must do so by next Tuesday (May 6, 2025) to be eligible for the primary. He also said the Bureau of Elections is still recruiting poll workers and urged anyone interested to contact the elections office directly.
Colin gave procedural guidance for commissioners who wish to vote in person: bring a driver’s license and any completed mail-in application to the Bureau of Elections office for assistance. He also noted personnel matters that will be handled in the board’s upcoming executive session.
No formal actions or votes were recorded on election administration during the work session; the update was informational and included a call for poll‑worker volunteers and reminders about registration and in‑office voting.
