Executive Director Robin Mayai said Board meetings are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Persons with special needs should notify her office at (724) 465-3805. This phone number can be accessed by voice or TDD.

The meeting followed discussions at the board’s Wednesday morning meeting, where Homer Mayor Arlene Wanatski asked about rules for mailed ballots before the actual election day, Nov. 8. .

The Electoral Commission agenda reminded voters to “follow the instructions carefully and seal the ballot in a secret white envelope marked ‘Official Election Ballot’.” Sign and date the return envelope. Failure to follow these instructions may result in your vote being denied. ”
