Board of Elections Regular Meeting

The upcoming Board of Elections meeting on April 8, 2025, will cover a range of topics related to election administration in Burke County. Discussions are planned regarding updates to voter registration through the National Change of Address system, a report from staff who attended an elections conference, and efforts to consolidate election materials. The board will also review the status of a court case impacting voters, and receive updates on state legislative matters affecting elections.

Several key decisions will be made at this meeting, including approving the agenda and minutes from a previous meeting. Notably, the board will vote on increasing rental fees paid to local fire departments for using their facilities as polling places, and decide whether to adjust compensation levels for board members. A change in the regular monthly meeting date has also been proposed and will require approval.

Community members may be particularly interested in the discussions surrounding consolidating election materials, as this could impact storage and security of voting-related items. Additionally, the update on a court case affecting voter eligibility warrants attention, as does the board's consideration of upcoming legislative changes that could impact future elections.
