The Lunenburg County Electoral Board on Jan. 4 heard that its redistricting committee has drawn and voted on new district boundaries and directed that legal descriptions be prepared for an ordinance. Secretary Olves Oliver W. Wright reported the committee’s action and said a lawyer will draft the formal legal descriptions for the ordinance, which the board plans to present to the Board of Supervisors in February for public comment.
Board members discussed budget items tied to redistricting outreach, including postage for notices and for absentee ballot return envelopes, and noted those costs should be included in next year’s budget. Chairman Donna Dagner provided an update from a VEBA leadership call and reminded members that the VEBA annual meeting is scheduled for March 18–20 at the Homestead.
The board set its next regular meeting for Feb. 1 at 3:30 p.m.; the redistricting ordinance and district maps are expected to be presented to the Board of Supervisors in February for public comment.
