Charlotte County electoral board sets June 17 as possible primary date, reviews budget and polling-place plans
Summary
The Charlotte County Electoral Board on Feb. 13 approved January minutes, heard the general registrar say the office appears to have enough in the current budget to cover a primary scheduled for June 17 if needed, and directed follow-up visits to two polling-site locations; no public comments were received.
Chairman Glenn Baker called the Charlotte County Electoral Board to order on Feb. 13 at the General Registrar's Office and noted the meeting's attendees included Assistant Chairman Glenwood Foster, Secretary Aubrey Fane and General Registrar Virginia Booth.
Secretary Aubrey Fane moved to approve the minutes from the Jan. 9 meeting; Assistant Chairman Glenwood Foster seconded and the board accepted the minutes as corrected without objection. There were no public comments.
General Registrar Virginia Booth presented the Registrar's Report and the meeting packet for signatures. Booth said the parties have been notified about the inactive voter list and that the office "appears to have enough left in this year's budget to cover the primary," adding that the Nov. general election will be paid from next year's budget. The transcript does not specify the dollar amounts involved.
Booth also said June 17 has been set as the date for a primary if it becomes necessary. She told the board the office has budgeted for three new cameras to cover interior and exterior building security; the transcript does not list the cost or vendor for those cameras.
The board discussed potential polling-place moves. Mr. Foster and Mr. Fane agreed to set a time to visit the Wylliesburg fire house to determine whether the polling place can be moved into the new building. The transcript references a Cullin/Red House and Wylliesburg/Red Oak location change as items under consideration (details and attachments were referenced in the packet but not read aloud).
The officers-of-election list has been updated; Secretary Aubrey Fane will compose a cover letter to accompany the response form mailed to potential officers. The meeting adjourned on a motion by Fane that was approved without objection.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: the registrar will continue preparing for a possible June 17 primary, staff will follow up on the inactive voter notifications, Mr. Foster and Mr. Fane will inspect the Wylliesburg site, and a cover letter for officers of election will be drafted by Secretary Fane. Specific dates, cost estimates and vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
