Canvassing Board

The County Canvassing Board is made up of the Supervisor of Elections, a County Court Judge (who acts as chair), and a County Commissioner. Two alternate members (a County Court Judge and a County Commissioner) are also appointed. The County Canvassing Board meets at the Supervisor of Elections office to publicly canvass the vote-by-mail ballots and provisional ballots.

The Canvassing Board conducts all business at the Supervisor of Elections office. Public notice of the dates and times of all meetings will be posted on our website.
