The Venango County Elections Office conducted its public voting machine test Friday morning at the Courthouse Annex ahead of Tuesday’s municipal election. Elections Director Laura Anna led the process, casting several practice ballots to confirm machine accuracy. The county’s high-speed ballot tabulator was also tested and successfully sorted ballots into the proper trays. None of the county commissioners, who make up the election board, were present for the testing. The machine is now sealed until Election Day, and the practice ballots will not be counted. Venango County voters will elect four unopposed county row officers, a magisterial district judge, and numerous local and school board officials.
