Polling Place

The polling place for the New Florence borough is:

New Florence Volunteer Fire Department
177 13th Street, New Florence, PA 15944

Poll Worker Positions

The three positions that make up the local election board in each precinct are the Judge of Elections, the Majority Inspector, and the Minority Inspector.  These positions are filled during municipal elections every four years. The last time these elections took place was 2017, and the next time will be in 2021. The local election board is supported by the Clerk and Machine Inspector (also known as Machine Operator).  Unlike the elected positions, these positions are always filled by appointment.  If you would like to work at the polling place please contact the Westmoreland County Election Office at 724-830-3150 or follow the Be-a-Poll-Worker link.

Running for Office

The New Florence mayor is elected to a four year term.  The borough council members are elected to four year terms also.  The council seats are split with three seats in one group and four seats in the other.  This provides an overlap of terms for continuity purposes.  Individuals interested in running for office can contact the Westmoreland County Election Bureau.  Here you can learn how to have their name added to the May primary election ballot.  It simply requires filing a petition with at least ten signatures. Petition packets are available for individuals.  You can access the Westmoreland County Election Bureau website for more information on Running for Office.  There are numerous links on the website to help you navigate the process.  You can also contact them at (724) 830-1150.
