Clarion County Republican
​April 14th committee meeting &
"Spring Legislative Breakfast"

To all our Republican friends,
​With the ongoing concern of the effects of the Coronavirus, I have consulted with the Ramada by Wyndham and we have decided to cancel our April Committee Meeting for the 14th and we are postponing the Spring Breakfast. The Spring Breakfast has been tentatively rescheduled for Friday, May 22 at 7:30 AM at Ramada by Wyndham in Clarion. Our May meeting on the 12th is still on and we will see how events progress between now and then to see if we need to adjust or cancel either of the May events. I really hate to do this but with all the alarm in our society I felt we need to err on the side of caution. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. I have not heard of any changes or adjustments to the primary election on April 28 at this time. You can always apply for a mail in ballot. Thank you all for your support during this difficult time.

Rick Rathfon, Chairman
Clarion County Republican Committee

IMPORTANT 2020 PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIONS DATES TO REMEMBER

Picture


​









On Friday, March 27, Governor Wolf signed Senate Bill 422, which reschedules the 2020 primary election from April 28 to June 2. The measure makes other election process changes, including some due to the COVID-19 emergency. The bill provides process improvements to Act 77 of 2019, to allow counties to begin processing and tabulating mail ballots beginning at 7 a.m. on election day, rather than after the polls close at 8 p.m. Additionally, the measure allows counties to temporarily consolidate polling places without court approval and eases other rules regarding location and staffing of polling places for the primary to respond to county concerns about a potential shortage of poll workers and appropriate polling place locations.
