The Prince William County Office of Elections held its first-ever open house to educate the public about the election process. With early voting beginning in about 35 days, the event was intended to provide transparency and allow attendees to understand how elections are managed and secured.
More than 300 people signed up for the 45-minute tour, during which the public learned about the office’s mission, voter registration, equipment preparation, voting by mail, results reporting, and election officer staffing. Each segment offered an overview and practical demonstrations.
With partisan rhetoric about election security on both sides of the aisle, Eric Olson, Director of Prince William County Office of Elections, highlighted the importance of maintaining public trust. “We want to educate people on how elections work and the steps we take to ensure the integrity of their vote. With concerns about election integrity increasing, it’s important to show the public how the process operates.”
