Prince William County Office of Elections: "On Wednesday, May 24, 2023, the Prince William County Electoral Board voted unanimously to reappoint Eric Olsen to the position of Prince William County Director of Elections. With this action, Eric will serve in the position for a four-year term beginning on July 1, 2023."
"Mr. Olsen came into the position in November 2021 amid a period of scrutiny and uncertainty for elections both here in Prince William County and across the country. Over the last 18 months, he has worked hard to increase election transparency, voter confidence in the system, and electoral staff morale. Not without its challenges, Eric faced both professional and health hardships that briefly led to the consideration and announcement of his resignation, but ultimately decided that he is
dedicated serving the voters of Prince William County."
