Election board hires extra staff amid surge in registrations and ballots
Deputy Director Betty McGary says the situation is unprecedented after 27 years with the board. Butler County and other counties report 32,000 new registrations, 15,000 absentee ballot requests, 6,000 cancellations, and 5,793 provisional ballots. To handle demand, 39 part timers were hired since July, 12 additional phone lines installed, and 24 more workers added for 34 lines on Election Day. Ohio Secretary of State spokesperson James Lee notes higher participation drives more provisional ballots, but boards expect to meet deadlines.
