Belmont County Seeking Poll Workers for November Election - Especially Democrats
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Calling all registered voters: Belmont County needs your help, especially if you are a Democrat.
Eberle Ferrell, director of the Belmont County Board of Elections and a Democrat, recently visited a meeting of the county Democratic Party in hopes of persuading some members to help staff polling locations during the Nov. 4 general election. Just as a bipartisan balance is required among board members and staff, with Deputy Director Kamron Chervenak being a Republican, each of the county’s 69 polling precincts must be staffed by a bipartisan mix of individuals.
During a phone interview on Thursday, Ferrell said the county needs 276 total poll workers, which would place four workers at each precinct. The county previously had 70 precincts, but two Flushing Township precincts were recently combined in Precinct 47.
“Just on registration records, most of the county is unaffiliated or mostly registered Republican,” Ferrell said. “Each election we have a desperate need for workers affiliated with the Democratic Party.”
