Polk County Board of Elections
Every two years the Board of Elections becomes the most important County agency in terms of Polk County politics. It's where you register to vote, where candidates register to run, and it runs the elections themselves.
The Board of Elections is nonpartisan, but political at the same time. It consists of five members: three Democrats and two Republicans. The chair is selected from the same party as the current governor.
The Board of Elections office is located at 40 Courthouse St, Columbus NC 28722, on the second floor of the Womack Building, directly across from the courthouse.
The following are the Board Members for 2019-2021:
Chair Sharon Goettert (D)
Member Renee McDermott (D)
Secretary Michael Veatch (D)
Member Keith Holbert (R)
Member Scott Woodworth (R)
The Director of Elections, Cliff Marr, oversees the county employees and poll workers who actually run the elections.
