Secretary of State Husted Appoints Bill Sell to The Mercer County Board of Elections

COLUMBUS –Secretary of State Jon Husted has appointed Bill Sell as a member of the Mercer County Board of Elections. Mr. Sell will complete the term of Mark Uhlenhake, who recently resigned.

State law requires bipartisan representation on each of Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections. Each board is made up of two Republican members and two Democratic members, all of whom must be qualified electors in the counties for which they serve. The Secretary of State makes appointments to boards of elections based on the recommendations of the executive committees of the respective county political parties.

Bill Sell was recommended by the Mercer County Democratic Executive Committee.
