Electoral Board to seek moving Bacon/Saxe voting site to New Hope Methodist Church
Summary
The Charlotte County Electoral Board voted to advance a request to the Board of Supervisors to relocate the Bacon/Saxe precinct to New Hope Methodist Church and to report on accessibility improvements at the current site.
The Charlotte County Electoral Board said it will ask the Board of Supervisors to relocate the Bacon/Saxe voting place to New Hope Methodist Church and update the supervisors on efforts to make the Bacon/Saxe precinct more accessible to voters.
Chair Glenwood Foster said he will attend the Board of Supervisors meeting to convey the Electoral Board’s recommendation and to bring supervisors up to date on accessibility efforts for the current site. The minutes record the Board’s intent to press for the relocation and to continue work to reduce barriers for voters at the Bacon/Saxe precinct.
The move was discussed as part of the Board’s regular business; no formal vote on the relocation was recorded in the minutes. The Board noted it will notify stakeholders and coordinate next steps with county staff if the Board of Supervisors approves the change.
The Board adjourned after considering this and other administrative matters; the minutes show the Board accepted prior minutes and then ended the meeting.
