Board directs development of electioneering rules for over-the-counter voting
Summary
The Mercer County Board of Elections voted 3-0 on Jan. 22, 2026, to develop electioneering rules for over-the-counter (OTC) voting and route the proposal to the solicitor for approval; the minutes record the directive but provide no draft text or timeline.
The Mercer County Board of Elections voted 3-0 on Jan. 22, 2026, to approve development of electioneering rules for over-the-counter (OTC) voting and to have the proposal reviewed and approved by the county solicitor, according to the meeting minutes.
The minutes record the board's directive but do not include draft language, a target timeline for completion, or who will draft the rules. The action is recorded as a board-approved directive to staff and legal counsel; the minutes do not attribute the motion to a specific board member.
Because the minutes do not include the proposed text, further details such as permitted distances, signage rules, or enforcement mechanisms are not specified and will depend on the rules produced for solicitor review.
