With an early start on Election Day, poll workers have voting precincts ready for Butler County residents to exercise their civic duty.

County solicitor Wil White says he expects little trouble when it comes to voting in the 2022 midterm election.

“I don’t anticipate there being any confusion and problems, because there’s not a lot of changes since the primary. We’ve only changed a handful of precincts,” White said. “This isn’t like when we had the COVID situation and we were changing dozens of precincts at the last minute. We’ve been able to send a lot of letters, and there haven’t been many changes. I don’t expect there being much confusion as to where to vote or how to vote.”

The county has remained in contact with the state Bureau of Elections and Department of State about potential security, tech, personnel and legal issues, he added.

“We are regularly and continually in communication with (the Department of State) in preparation for the election,” he said Monday. “Multiple times throughout the day, we’re in communication with them, and that’s normal, not unusual. We’ve been on the phone with the postal service multiple times today, making sure everything is clean in terms of where we’re supposed to pick up our ballots tomorrow and making sure no other counties got our ballots. There's a lot of moving parts.”

County Commissioner Kevin Boozel also doesn’t anticipate many problems with the 2022 election proceedings.
