He has been serving in critical roles in election administration in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC since 2010. Mr. Olsen has received national awards for his leadership in elections including a Knight Foundation grant in 2015 for innovations in reducing election lines (the only government recipient out of 1,000+ applicants) and an EAC Clearinghouse House Award in 2025 for pioneering government transparency efforts. During his tenure, the PWC Office of Elections has spearheaded Virginia’s largest “I Voted” sticker contest, built a model officer manual, eliminated a huge party disparity in election officers, created a unique Open House program, made equipment and facility upgrades to maximize election security, and expanded voter education and transparency tools to make the PWC Office of Elections a leader in Virginia elections. All this was accomplished while saving county taxpayers more than half a million dollars over the first three fiscal years. From 2021 to 2024, Prince William residents rated their satisfaction with the voting experience as the most improved interaction among dozens of county programs.
