Election Board amends Vote Center Plan and opens 30‑day comment period

Board members discussed the 2026 Vote Center Draft Plan and approved an amendment specifying minimum staffing and equipment levels per Vote Center. The motion, offered by Member Greg Purvis, asked the paragraph on page 27 to read: "In no case shall the Clerk or Election Administrator reduce the number of poll workers per Vote Center locations below one Inspector, four bipartisan Judges, and four bipartisan Clerks, nor the number of Voting Machines per Vote Center locations be reduced less than eight, nor the number of Poll Pads per Vote Center be reduced less than four; without the unanimous approval of the Hamilton County Election Board." Clerk Williams seconded and the motion passed.
