## Summary

The upcoming Board of Elections meeting on May 12th will cover a range of important topics related to local elections. Discussions are expected on the National Change of Address process, which ensures voter records reflect current resident information, and preparations for the upcoming municipal elections, including a filing period from July 7th to 18th. The board will also review its financial status and provide an update on the recently concluded Supreme Court race.

A key item of discussion will be improving communication with state legislators regarding potential legislation that could impact elections. While the agenda itself was approved, and previous meeting minutes were confirmed, attendees may want to listen in to hear the board's perspective on these ongoing efforts. 

Finally, citizens should note that the next meeting is scheduled for June 10th, and a new board swearing-in ceremony will take place on July 22nd. Information about the full agenda and meeting minutes can be found at burkenc.org.
