Registrar reports operational updates: registration dip, L&A testing complete, cybersecurity grants and logistics
Summary
Lunenburg County’s registrar reported a small drop in registered voters to 8,182, completion of L&A testing for DS-200 and Express Vote equipment with a newly trained staff member assisting, ongoing cybersecurity grant requests, insurance arranged through County Administration, planned office floor replacement July 3–12, and streamlined election-night reporting spreadsheets.
At its June 4 meeting the Lunenburg County Electoral Board received a series of operational updates from the registrar.
The registrar said registered voters in the county fell to 8,182 from 8,194. The secretary reported that logic-and-accuracy testing for DS-200 machines and Express Vote ballot printers had been completed and reported to the State Department of Elections; he added that K. J. Saunders had been trained and assisted with the testing. The registrar also said limited liability insurance for polling places had been arranged through County Administration for the June primary and that risk-limiting audits for the primary and general elections are forthcoming.
On cybersecurity, the registrar reported that grant requests are in development but provided no dollar amounts or specific program names. The office plans a floor replacement between July 3 and July 12; the registrar described logistics for that work. The registrar also described changes to election-night reporting spreadsheets that remove duplicate entry and streamline the reporting process. The chair reminded members that the July meeting on July 2 will be longer to include the registrar’s performance evaluation and will be held at 10:00 AM in the administration building conference room.
One operational item raised but unresolved in the minutes was that some voters received unsolicited mailers about the primary from an unknown third party; the mailers included county contact information but did not identify the sender and the origin was not determined during the meeting.
