Prince William County – Office of Elections Honored with National Award
The Prince William County Office of Elections has been recognized with a prestigious national honor—the 2024 “Clearie” Award from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The award celebrates excellence in election administration and was given to PWC for its “Publishing Results Tapes Online” initiative.
Out of over 250 entries from across the U.S., Prince William County was one of 53 recognized programs, marking the first time a Virginia locality has won a Clearie Award. The county also received an Honorable Mention in the “I Voted” Stickers category and submitted several model programs now replicated across Virginia.
“To win an award of this magnitude validates the excellent work of our Board, leadership team, and staff,” said Eric Olsen, Director of the PWC Office of Elections. “This demonstrates our commitment to transparency and providing an excellent voting experience for PWC voters.”
The award follows a 2024 community survey where 94% of residents said they were satisfied with their voting experience, showing the largest improvement among all county services from 2021 to 2024.
“The Prince William County Office of Elections is committed to ideals of fairness, security, and transparency,” added Marcus Moyer, Secretary of the PWC Electoral Board. “It is an honor to see one of our initiatives highlighted on a national stage.”
The EAC is a bipartisan federal agency established under the Help America Vote Act and uses the Clearinghouse Awards to promote innovation and best practices in election management.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
