Board reviews candidate filings, equipment inventory deadline and election-week logistics
Summary
The clerk reported recent candidate filings and the board reviewed inventory and transport logistics for polling equipment, including plans to pull storage totes, secure a U-Haul for delivery and finalize an inventory due Jan. 31.
The Perry County Election Board heard a report of current candidate filings and discussed logistics for the upcoming election cycle, including an inventory of voting systems and the physical movement of equipment.
Speaker 2 read a list of candidates who have filed for various offices, noting contested races for sheriff and several county council seats, filings for clerk and assessor, and convention-delegate filings on both parties’ ballots.
Board members outlined practical logistics for election week: they plan to pull storage totes from the supply room, secure a covered vehicle (a U-Haul van) for moving equipment the day before and the day after the election, and schedule loading so polls can be set up early on election morning. Speaker 2 also said the board must complete and submit an inventory of voting systems and e-poll books by Jan. 31.
Members discussed staffing at larger precincts (for example, suggesting extra judges rather than extra clerks at the highway garage) and agreed to reconvene for a work session to complete inventories and finalize outstanding resolutions.
