Jim Pillen announced today that he will begin seeking qualified applicants to fill the position of Election Commissioner for Lancaster County. The vacancy will be created on Jan. 20, when the current commissioner, Dave Shively, will resign his seat after 23 years.
Those who wish to apply may do so through the Governor’s Boards and Commissions portal or in writing to the Office of the Governor. Applicants must be registered voters and must have lived in Lancaster for at least one year. Additional information is available at the governor’s website.
The appointment is a four-year term. Pillen’s appointee will finish out the current term on Sept. 6.
