All staff were sworn in by the Honorable Andrew King at a reorganizational meeting of the Delaware County Board of Elections held March 4, 2025. Staff swear an oath to the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Ohio, as well as to protect and maintain all election-related materials.
On March 4, 2025, the Honorable Andrew King swore in board members Melanie Leneghan and Peg Watkins to serve a four year term on the Delaware County Board of Elections.
Did you know active duty military and overseas civilian voters get a bit of extra time to cast their ballot? As a result, ballots from overseas are (ironically) the first ones to arrive in our office each election. Liz, Hayden, and Grace are excited to receive a ballot from every pin on their map!
Manager Corey McCaffery and Training Supervisor/Fiscal Officer Grace Fowler were honored to receive the “Best Use of Social Media” award from Secretary of State Frank LaRose at the 2024 Ohio Secretary of State Summer Conference!
Delaware and Union Counties teamed up for a panel at the 2024 Secretary of State Summer Conference to discuss after-action reviews and contingency planning. Directors of each county’s EMA, Board of Elections, and the county Sheriff’s office shared their expertise and best practices for handling whatever is thrown our way.
Thank you to our friends over at Union County Board of Elections, Director McCarthy from Delaware County Emergency Management, and Captain Vance from Delaware County Sheriff’s Office for joining Director Herron!
Delaware County’s Eloise Collier was named Precinct Election Official of the Year at the 2024 Secretary of State Summer Conference! Eloise has been working the polls for decades, and continues to sign up even at 100 years old.
Delaware County’s own Board Chair, Ed Helvey, was the recipient of the Pat Wolfe Election Official of the Year award at the 2023 Secretary of State Summer Conference. Chairman Helvey was deservedly recognized for his years of service and dedication to the voters of Delaware County, as well as his efforts in establishing continuing education for all of Ohio’s elections officials.
In a display of teamwork and dedication, multiple departments in Delaware County joined forces in a security round table. Together, we tackled emergency scenarios, strengthening our preparedness to protect the rights and safety of our voters. We are proud to be part of a county that prioritizes unity and proactive measures.
A big thank you to the Delaware County EMA, Board of Commissioners, Communications, Sheriff’s Office, IT, and Prosecutors offices for taking part in this, and to Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Kindred for facilitating!
The Delaware County Board of Elections conducted a hand count audit of the May 2, 2023 Special Election.
Though the board is only required to audit 5% of ballots cast from a random draw of polling locations, our bipartisan teams opted to perform a hand count of every single ballot cast in the election. Our findings showed that each ballot was tabulated correctly and exactly matched the results shown in our Official Canvass.
In spite of the early hours, Delaware County’s fantastic poll workers are ready to serve our voters with a smile on their face!
Did you know 17-year-olds can vote in Ohio’s Primary Election as long as they’ll be 18 before the General? This young voter participated in our democratic process for the first time!
Board Member, Steve Cuckler (left), named to the OAEO Board of Trustees.
Emily and Danielle, two of our Gen Z crew assist us in last-minute prepping.
More of our best and brightest assisting in the office: Diya, Kavya and Joya.
Our teens providing a helping hand with bags and supplies for our poll workers.
The Ohio Election Officials Summer Conference 2021
