Williamsport, Lycoming County-
A half-century of exercising American rights was celebrated Tuesday in Williamsport.
At the Genetti Hotel, nearly 200 Lycoming County residents were inducted into the Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame.
Voters were selected based on their outstanding citizenship, including their participation in every general election for 50 or more consecutive years.
Lycoming County Director of Elections Sandy Adams noted, “They are setting a fantastic example for all of us and we should follow what they’ve been doing for 50 years and we should get out and vote.”
Nearly 15,000 Pennsylvanians’ names have now been added to the Voter Hall of Fame. A book of those names is on display at the Department of State in Harrisburg. | |
