Warren County (Va.) Electoral Board Minutes, 1913-1945. Local government Records collection, Warren County Court Records. The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Va. 23219.
This item came to the Library of Virginia in a shipment of court papers from Warren County.
Warren County was named for Joseph Warren, the revolutionary patriot who sent Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous rides and who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The county was formed from Frederick and Shenandoah counties in 1836.
Special officers have been appointed specifically to oversee general elections since 1831; these have included registrars, commissioners of elections, election judges and clerks. The election law of 1884 created electoral boards, which have since appointed all other election officials. The electoral boards and registrars are the recording agents of the election machinery.
Warren County (Va.) Electoral Board Minutes, 1913-1945 contains the minutes of this board.
