Election Business

Mr. Cliff Marr, Director of the Polk County Board of Elections, will be the speaker.  We all know what a challenging election lies ahead of us this November.  Mr Marr, a seventeen year veteran of the “Election Business” as he calls it, will speak about all the lengths to which his office goes to assure the security of ALL votes and voters in our county.

Beginning his career in Henderson County as a technician who worked on the voting machines themselves, he became the Director of our county’s Board of Elections nine years ago.  And editor’s note here: I, Karen Neff, have been through the extensive training ALL poll workers undergo in order to volunteer their services (usually for 15 hours on election day).  Mr Marr and his staff have left no stone unturned when it comes to preparing for the ‘what ifs’ of this election season. The training is very detailed and is based on election laws but also includes information based on what Mr. Marr has learned over his years of experience.

Come to learn.  Come to have your questions answered and your concerns addressed.  Come to meet and greet your friends and neighbors.  See you on September 18th.
