Lunenburg County Electoral Board adopts election equipment security plan and authorizes cybersecurity grant application
Summary
At its Jan. 10 meeting the Lunenburg County Electoral Board approved a revised Election Equipment Security Plan and authorized the Registrar to pursue phase two of the Local Cybersecurity Grant Program with County Administration; the board also handled administrative business and set meeting dates for 2025.
Lunenburg County Electoral Board Chairman Donna Dagner said the board adopted a new Election Equipment Security Plan with minor modifications at the board’s Jan. 10 meeting.
The board reviewed a draft plan prepared for securing election equipment and, after suggesting several minor edits, approved a motion to adopt the plan. The motion passed; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the minutes.
The board also approved a motion authorizing the Registrar to apply, in coordination with County Administration, for phase two of the Local Cybersecurity Grant Program. The Registrar was directed to work with the County Administrator on the application and related administrative steps.
During discussion, members raised related administrative matters: the Registrar will send a revised cost estimate for new voting equipment to the County Administrator for inclusion in the FY 25/26 budget process, and the Chairman provided a list of training topics for future sessions. The board confirmed that reimbursements for travel or registration (for example, to the VEBA Annual Meeting) may be processed through County Administration per existing procedures.
The board set meeting dates and times for the remainder of the year and retained the Registrar’s informational updates that required no formal board action. The board adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
