With Democratic Commissioner Joe Hoeffel a no-show for the meeting, Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce L. Castor Jr., a Republican, was voted chairman of the county Board of Elections on Thursday.
Castor was nominated by commissioners chairman James R. Matthews, while Prothonotary Mark Levy nominated Matthews, who refused the nomination. Levy abstained from the vote, so Castor and Matthews cast the only votes.
Matthews was voted vice chairman of the Board of Elections.
Hoeffel resigned as chairman because he is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor of Pennsylvania in 2010.
