The three County Commissioners constitute the County Board of Elections and the County Registration Commission. They in turn appoint a Director and Deputy Director to direct and supervise the many functions of these two departments. This office is responsible for managing the execution of Federal, State, County and local elections and County voter registration, according to the Pennsylvania Election Code. This involves holding elections, all petition, campaign finance filings, etc. for all candidates, preparing and printing of ballots, furnishing election equipment and supplies, conducting voting, canvassing election returns, maintaining custody of voted ballots and other election records and filing instruments.
We also answer questions regarding election returns, election procedures and legislation for elected/appointed officials, election judges, candidates, the news media and the general public.
This office also maintains accountability as the Registrar of Voters for Wyoming County, again according to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. We work hand in hand with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and other State Agencies to follow the "Motor Voter Law"--in updating addresses and getting people in their proper voting districts.
REMEMBER: REGISTERING TO VOTE IS A PRIVILEGE AND YOUR RIGHT
Since the enactment of the new Pennsylvania Motor Voter Law in June 1995, it is now easier than ever to register to vote. Any person at least 18 years of age is eligible to register. Registration forms are available at all Federal and State Agency offices including Welfare, Labor and Industry and WIC, as well as the Voter Registration Office located on the first floor of the Wyoming County Courthouse. Forms are also available at all Post Offices. When you apply for or renew your Pennsylvania driver license you now have the option to register to vote at your local photo licensing centers.
