Good Morning, Canton! ~ Terry Bennett

Election Day for most people lasts as long as it takes to get into a polling place and cast a ballot. For candidates, it's a culmination of months of hard work.

But for those who work at the polls and in the Canton Township Clerk's office, Election Day is business as usual, even if the day itself is unusually long.

Election workers are typically on duty at 6 a.m. and stick around until the last ballot is counted, which is well after 9:30 p.m.

On Tuesday, Canton Township Clerk Terry Bennett recorded some praise for the dozens of poll workers who not only put in long hours, but did it while using the electronic poll book for the first time.
