Charlotte County board secures Shiloh Church for Saxe Bacon precinct; approves officers list
Summary
The Charlotte County Electoral Board said Shiloh Church will be used as a temporary polling place for the Saxe Bacon precinct for the June primary and November general elections and approved its officers of election, authorizing staff to survey their willingness to serve.
The Charlotte County Electoral Board on April 7 said Shiloh Church has agreed to host the Saxe Bacon precinct for the upcoming June primary and November general election, and the board approved its list of officers of election.
Chairman Clark announced that Shiloh Church will allow the board to use the facility for both elections while the board continues searching for a permanent polling place for the Saxe Bacon precinct. Mr. Foster told members he had contacted Lebanon Methodist Church on Route 47, Staunton River Battlefield Park and the Depot in Randolph; those locations were not interested. He added that planned repairs to the Southall Community Building could make that site suitable again.
The board approved the officers-of-election list without objection. Mr. Browning moved and Mr. Foster seconded a motion authorizing Mr. Goode to send surveys to the listed officers to confirm whether they are willing to serve in the election.
Why it matters: securing an accessible polling place and confirming election workers are critical steps to ensure polling locations are staffed and open on election day. The board said it will continue seeking a long-term solution for the Saxe Bacon precinct.
The board recessed for additional business and scheduled follow-up action for its next meeting.
