Prince William County â Office of Elections Honored with National Award
The Prince William County Office of Elections has been recognized with a prestigious national honorâthe 2024 âClearieâ Award from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The award celebrates excellence in election administration and was given to PWC for its âPublishing Results Tapes Onlineâ 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 âI Votedâ 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.
âThe Prince William County Office of Elections is committed to ideals of fairness, security, and transparency,â added Marcus Moyer, Secretary of the PWC Electoral Board. âIt is an honor to see one of our initiatives highlighted on a national stage.â
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.
