Prince William County has a new chief at its office of elections. He'll take over after the November 2 General Election.
From the county government: The Prince William County Electoral Board is excited to announce the hiring of Eric Olsen as the new Director of Elections (General Registrar) for Prince William County. The announcement comes following an extensive search and competitive hiring process. Mr. Olsen will start on November 8, 2021.
Eric Olsen has spent more than a decade working in elections for large jurisdictions in Virginia (Arlington County), Maryland (Montgomery County), and the District of Columbia. He has extensive experience in election administration, operations, and best practices currently serving as the Deputy Director for the Arlington County Office of Voter Registration and Elections. In 2015, he received a national grant from the Knight Foundation for his work using data modeling to reduce lines on Election Day. Not only did DC reduce lines by more than 40% from 2012 to 2016, but he worked with jurisdictions across the country to help them improve in this area. Mr. Olsen also previously served as co-chair of the Elections Committee for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.
