Tuscarawas County voters wanting to cast an early ballot for the November 5th presidential election will do so at the usual location.
The county elections office was supposed to move into its new headquarters on the east side of New Philadelphia before the 30-day early voting period until a utility issue pushed back the timeline.
Director Gail Garbrandt says she and her staff will be ready to welcome early voters at their current office in the county courthouse beginning October 8th.
Meanwhile, board of commissioner’s president Kristen Zemis says crews are putting the finishing touches on the building that will also be the new home of the county’s EMA office.
“We are working to make sure they have all the security and IT support equipment they need. With the Board of Elections, to make sure that they’re meeting everything that they’re required to meet from the Secretary of State, you know entrances, the ability to store lots of records.”
Garbrandt now expects to be in the new building sometime after the first week in December.
