This year we partnered with our County and the Board of Elections to be the site for Franklin County voters to cast early and absentee votes.  As many of you are aware, our building saw larger and larger crowds as we counted down to Election Day.  We were encouraged to see so many people taking advantage of this new option for voting.  During this exercise we had local, national and international media on our doorstep (such as The Columbus Dispatch shown below), waiting lines of up to five hours, and campaigners in our parking lot.  With all of this activity, our staff and voters represented Franklin County with pride.  Few complaints and many volunteers and smiling faces made this time one that will always be remembered by everyone involved.
