Larson Lundquist is stationed at Saint Peter’s church on Delp Road in Manheim Township, and has been working polls for nearly 50 years. His reasoning? “Someone’s got to do it.” He said the turnout’s been pretty steady but small, but that’s not unusual for a primary election.

Nathan Van Name, who is running as a Republican candidate for Manheim Township Commissioner, said it has been a slow morning for polling. He believes people are less engaged with local issues than they were during the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been exceptionally slow … It’s bizarre.” Nick Good, Judge of Election at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on Lime Street, said this is the first year the location has not seen an early morning line. In fact they didn’t get anyone until about 25 minutes after polls opened

Good was shocked by the low turnout, especially with the hot button local issues like home rule on the ballot. Construction outside the church might have slowed some of the crowds, but as of 9:30 there have been less than 25 people.

The church is expecting 160 to 180 people to vote there which matches up with numbers from primaries in previous years.

Judge of Elections Thomas Mehaffey estimated they have been close to 40 people at the church about an hour and a half after opening. They’re hoping for around 150 people to show up to this location.
