Election survival guide available on county site

MERCER COUNTY — Voters who want to know about registering, absentee ballots, polling locations or general tips about Election Day can find a trove of information on Mercer County’s Web site, said Jeff Greenburg, elections chief.

Go to www.mcc.co.mercer.pa.us, and find the information under the heading “Election Survival Guide,” he said.

Greenburg said he created the site — subtitled as almost everything an informed voter needs to know — because of increased voting he expects on Nov. 4.
