# October 1, 2026 Special Meeting of the Board of Elections

The Erie County, Pennsylvania Board of Elections held a special meeting on October 1, 2026. The board considered Resolution 4 of 2026, ratifying a change to the November ballot to include an Albion Borough referendum on reducing the number of borough council members. Members discussed how the referendum had been omitted after a court order and a communication breakdown involving the borough and its solicitor. Staff said the ballot was corrected promptly and that no incorrect ballots had been printed or mailed. The resolution was approved, with all members whose votes were called voting yes. The board also discussed adding a question about referendum items to its municipal outreach process to help prevent similar omissions.

During public comment, a resident raised concerns about removing poll workers who fail to attend training or perform their duties, and encouraged efforts to obtain voters’ contact information for ballot-related communication. The meeting included no contract awards, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity.
