The Hancock County Board of Elections needs some help with the upcoming primary.

“We are in dire need of poll workers this year because the election is in March and we have a lot of snowbirds, a lot of poll workers are in Florida or Arizona,” said Jody Beall O’Brien, Republican Director of the board of elections.
