Lancaster County hires Sinclair Hill to study Election Commission space needs for $32,400
Summary
The board approved a $32,400 agreement with Sinclair Hill Architects to study space needs at the Lancaster County Election Commission, a July–November study designed to capture election-season use and address 2024 wait-time and parking challenges.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners authorized a $32,400 agreement with Sinclair Hill Architects to perform a space-needs assessment for the Lancaster County Election Commission.
Todd Wilchin, speaking for the Election Commission, told the board the study is timed to run from July through November so the firm can observe the facility during petitioning and peak election use. He said the study responds to issues experienced in 2024, including long waits and parking constraints: “We had some voters wait hours to vote at early,” he said, noting a desire to evaluate site use and deficiencies during the full election cycle.
Wilchin said the study will include a site visit to Douglas County to review how that jurisdiction responded to 2024 turnout and related logistics. Commissioners moved and seconded approval; the motion carried on roll call. The contract will allow staff to gather data needed for future decisions about the Election Commission’s facilities and operations.
