Shirley Anderson reported on Hernando County’s 2020 election cycle at the December 15, 2020 Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting. Anderson reported a successful day, with a few notable differences over previous years.
In what Anderson called a “challenging year,” the Presidential Preference vote in March was hindered by the realization of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SOE office saw many election workers leave their positions the day before that election.
Changes were instituted before the August Primaries, and a major recruitment effort began in September. Anderson reported that many new people responded, and trained to be poll workers as a result.
