Polls at the township's nine voting districts are open until 8 p.m.
When Sally Buchele opened the polling location at the Cranberry Highlands Golf Course Tuesday morning, she wasn't greeted by the foot traffic she usually gets as residents hurry in to cast their votes before heading off to work. “There were probably three people there,” she said. Workers at other poll locations across Cranberry also are reporting low voter turnout for Election Day. Polls for the township’s nine voting districts opened at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 8 p.m. As of 10:45 a.m. Kathy Tucci said 77 voters had shown up at the Cranberry West I voting precinct at the Cranberry Highlands. That’s out of 2,162 registered voters in the district. “I think it’s even slower than the primary,” she said. Still, incumbent Supervisor …

Because the township's population is rising, Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors may see a small jump in pay. At Thursday’s meeting, officials approved advertising an ordinance that would increase the supervisors’ yearly salary from $4,125 to $4,375—an increase of $250.

After winning the May primary election, board Chairman John Skorupan and Vice Chairman Bruce Mazzoni are running for the two open seats on the Republican ticket. There are no contenders on the Democrat ballot for the Nov. 8 election, although a write-in campaign is possible.
