The Lunenburg County Electoral Board voted unanimously at a special Aug. 24 meeting to approve a one-day pilot of Sunday early voting on Oct. 3, 2021, for the November general election. Patricia Harper Tunley, chair of the Lunenburg Democrat Party, presented financial, historical and voter-enfranchisement arguments in favor of a single Sunday session.

Board members discussed expectations and logistics for the pilot and then moved to approve one day of Sunday voting; the motion carried unanimously. The board set the CAP polling place to be open Sunday, Oct. 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and discussed applying for special funds that had been authorized to support Sunday voting efforts, though no application or award details appear in the minutes.

The decision establishes a local pilot rather than a permanent change to county practices; minutes record the vote as an approval without listing individual movers or seconders. The board adjourned in good order at 4:46 p.m. on Aug. 24.
