Bucks County Commissioners Announce Another Week of BUCKS VOTES Public Education Sites

With one month remaining before the Nov. 7 General Election, the Bucks County Commissioners continue to intensify their BUCKS VOTES educational initiative.

“We want to make voting as easy a process as it can possibly be, and as quick as possible, too,” said commissioners’ Chairman James F. Cawley, Esq.

During the commissioners’ bi-monthly meeting Oct. 4 in Northampton Twp., Chief Operating Officer David M. Sanko reiterated the county’s commitment to provide its residents with “the tools to conduct a flawless election.”

Today, the commissioners announced another week of venues for the program, which continues to reach out to all 54 municipalities within the county.

These dates are in addition to the two permanent sites established for demonstrations, at the Bucks County Courthouse (55 E. Court St., Doylestown) on the second floor, and at the Lower Bucks Government Service Center in Levittown ( 7321 New Falls Rd. Levittown).

For additional voter training, viewers can watch the training video as many times as they want, at any time, via ON DEMAND from Comcast. The video will be located in the “Bucks Votes” folder under the Get Local menu of ON DEMAND. The video will be available through November 7. This week’s voter education sessions are as follows:
