How Fairfax County Prepares for Election Season: Insights from General Registrar Eric Spicer
As the Nov. 5 election draws near, Fairfax County is gearing up for a surge in voter turnout typical in a presidential election year.
In a recent episode of the “Connect with County Leaders” podcast, host Bryan Hill, Fairfax County Executive, sat down with Eric Spicer, general registrar and director of elections for Fairfax County, to discuss the upcoming election and the county’s efforts to ensure a smooth voting process.
The conversation opened with a discussion of early voting. Turnout far exceeded expectations on opening weekend.
Spicer reported that on the first day of early voting, 2,700 voters cast ballots at the Government Center alone, compared to just 1,200 four years ago. In total, over 4,500 voters cast their ballots at three locations on the first day.
