The Lunenburg County Electoral Board on Jan. 4 signed chain-of-custody documents for voted ballots from the November general election and scheduled a risk‑limiting audit of the 75th House race for Jan. 5 at 9:30 a.m. in the registrar’s office. Chairman Donna Dagner called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m., and all members and the general registrar were present.
Secretary Olves Oliver W. Wright reported he retrieved ballots from several precincts and the CAP in accordance with directions from the Department of Elections and signed the required chain‑of‑custody paperwork. Wright said those ballots are being retained to support the risk‑limiting audit of the 75th House race. The board set the audit to begin Jan. 5 at 9:30 a.m. in the registrar’s office.
Members also noted that new transportation cases containing the jurisdiction’s new printers have arrived. Wright said he will contact Mike Brown to arrange vendor‑led acceptance training and to transfer the Merlin hardware into the new cases; the vendor is expected to remove the old cases at that time. The board reviewed and signed the minutes from its previous meeting during the session.
The meeting adjourned at 4:28 p.m.; the board set its next regular meeting for Feb. 1 at 3:30 p.m.
