Board votes to rescind prior approval of election bylaws amendment
Summary
The Camden County board voted to rescind a motion adopted in November that approved an amended Board of Election and Registration bylaws version, saying the prior vote was taken without all members present and will be revisited at the next meeting.
The Camden County Board of Elections and Registration voted to rescind a prior motion that approved an amended version of the board’s bylaws, saying the earlier action was taken without all members present and requires reconsideration.
A board member said the November 7 motion to accept the bylaws amendment was an error because not all members were present at that meeting. The member moved to rescind the motion; another member seconded, and the board approved the rescission by voice vote. The chair noted the rescission passed and that the board would revisit the bylaws amendment at a subsequent meeting.
The transcript records the board concluding the rescission process and scheduling further review; no text of the bylaws amendment or the grounds for the required four‑fifths majority were read into the record. The board did not provide additional statutory citations in the discussion recorded in the transcript.
The board directed that the bylaws amendment be reviewed again at the next meeting so members can reassess the amendment with full participation.
