Delaware County’s own Board Chair, Ed Helvey, was the recipient of the Pat Wolfe Election Official of the Year award at the 2023 Secretary of State Summer Conference. Chairman Helvey was deservedly recognized for his years of service and dedication to the voters of Delaware County, as well as his efforts in establishing continuing education for all of Ohio’s elections officials.

In a display of teamwork and dedication, multiple departments in Delaware County joined forces in a security round table. Together, we tackled emergency scenarios, strengthening our preparedness to protect the rights and safety of our voters. We are proud to be part of a county that prioritizes unity and proactive measures.

A big thank you to the Delaware County EMA, Board of Commissioners, Communications, Sheriff’s Office, IT, and Prosecutors offices for taking part in this, and to Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Kindred for facilitating!

The Delaware County Board of Elections conducted a hand count audit of the May 2, 2023 Special Election.
Though the board is only required to audit 5% of ballots cast from a random draw of polling locations, our bipartisan teams opted to perform a hand count of every single ballot cast in the election. Our findings showed that each ballot was tabulated correctly and exactly matched the results shown in our Official Canvass.

In spite of the early hours, Delaware County’s fantastic poll workers are ready to serve our voters with a smile on their face!
