WAYNE COUNTY, OH, Nov. 5, 2020 — At this time when people are beginning to believe no one can work together, we want to remind everyone of the excellent bi-partisan effort that happened in Wayne County. Julie Leathers Stahl, Director, and Rich Corfman, Deputy Director led our bi-partisan team at the Wayne County Board of Elections and held an excellent election experience for everyone.
As the Board, we want to thank our very dedicated staff who worked 7 days a week and many times 10 -12 hours days for several weeks prior to the election to make sure we would have a fair and transparent election, ensuring every vote was counted exactly as it was cast.
We also want to thank the temporary workers hired to help in this process along with the many volunteers. We could not have done it without all of you! At every polling location our bipartisan team of poll workers did an excellent job of serving the public, and we thank you.
This election provided folks an opportunity to vote by mail, vote in person early, return your absentee ballot at our secure drop off box, vote on election day at their polling place and, if requested, there was curbside service for those using the early voting and at each polling location on Tuesday. Wayne County’s election was accessible to everyone.
We handled over 18,000 absentee ballots. The early voting room at our Vanover Building office had voters every day who patiently waited their turn and were courteous to the staff. In the last week, we had over 800 people a day voting early and averaged a vote being cast every 50 seconds. At polling locations across the county on Tuesday, our voters wait was minimal and all 67 precincts reported in on time on election day.
Thank you all for providing an excellent election experience for all Wayne County Voters this November.
Wayne County Board of Elections,
Elizabeth Sheets, Chair
Charlie Hardman, Board Member
K. William Bailey, Board Member
Ann Obrecht, Board Member

WAYNE COUNTY, OH, Apr. 27, 2020 — In-person voting for the primary election to be held on Tuesday, Apr. 28 has been limited by the Ohio General Assembly due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to Wayne County Board of Elections (BOE) Director Julie Leathers Stahl, only specific individuals will be permitted to visit the polling location in-person to cast their ballot. The only polling location will be at the board of elections office located at 200 Vanover Street, Wooster. Regular polling locations will not be open.
“Voters coming to our polling location will be required to maintain physical distancing and should adhere to the instructions of our staff, signage and floor markings to ensure these requirements are followed,” Stahl said. “Our staff will be practicing safe and sanitary measures in the polling location.”
Voters that registered by Feb. 18, 2020, that have not voted in the 2020 Primary must belong to one of the following categories to vote in-person on Tuesday:
Voters who have a disability requiring the use of an accessible DRE (direct-recording electronic) voting machine.
Voters that are unable to receive mail at their place of residence or other location.
In addition, any voter that requested an absentee ballot by the Apr. 25 deadline and did not receive it, may enter the polling location for assistance.
Ohio law does not permit any voter that does not belong to one of the two categories, or that failed to receive a properly requested absentee ballot by Apr. 25, to vote enter the building.
According to Stahl, posters from the office of Secretary of State Frank LaRose will be placed at the Wayne County BOE office on Election Day to inform voters.
