Franklin County holds first election in a COVID-19 world

Franklin County held their first election since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last week and the process was very different from previous years.

Rather than manning several polling places across the county, all voting in this year's primary election was done at the Franklin County Convention Center.

With plenty of room to keep people six feet apart from each other, having one polling location in the convention center was deemed a better solution than trying to manage social distancing at several smaller sites around the county.
