NORRISTOWN, PA — Montgomery County is working on a way to honor exemplars of civic duty who have voted in 50 or more consecutive November elections.
The Pennsylvania Voters Hall of Fame has 62 members from Montgomery County who have achieved the rare honor, but local officials say there are many more.
“The right to vote has been hard fought and hard won, and we applaud these citizens for understanding and cherishing that right while setting an example for all of us,” Montgomery County Commissioner and elections chief Neil Makhija said in a statement. “These inspiring Hall of Famers must be recognized for their dedicated civic participation and their commitment to democracy.”
