Preparations for the upcoming election are in full swing in Warren County, with heightened security measures mirroring trends across Pennsylvania and nationwide as safety concerns increase.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office announced that, following state recommendations, security will be heightened in the lead-up to the election and on Election Day. Deputies will be stationed at the elections office and key polling locations, with additional constables available as needed.

This increase in security is designed to ensure a safe voting environment during this critical presidential election.

While no specific threats have been reported in Warren County, officials from the Warren County Board of Elections are taking proactive measures to protect voters in accordance with state guidance.

With several hundred local voters already opting for in-person, on-demand voting rather than mailing ballots, officials say election preparations are proceeding smoothly as Election Day approaches.

County election officials are assuring residents that every precaution is being taken to make voting as safe and accessible as possible.
