The Lunenburg County Electoral Board met Aug. 13, 2025, and took several preparatory actions for the November election, including appointing a chief deputy registrar, three election officials and two equipment custodians.
Chairman Donna Dagner called the meeting to order at 4:04 PM. The board moved, seconded and approved a motion to designate Deputy Registrar Glenda Branch as Chief Deputy Registrar. The record does not specify who made or seconded the motion or provide a roll‑call tally.
The board also approved appointments of Yvonne Moore, Joyce Pinkney and Star Snead as election officials for the November election. In a separate motion that was seconded and approved, Richard Haag and Kenny Saunders were named equipment custodians for the upcoming election.
Board members were told the county is expected to receive a cybersecurity grant later this month, contingent on approval by the Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors at its Aug. 14 meeting; the minutes do not specify the grant amount or the awarding agency. The board also was informed that the Emergency Polling Place Plan has been finalized and will be presented to the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 14.
The board voted to go into closed session to discuss the registrar's annual performance review under the personnel exemption of the Code of Virginia (2.2‑3711(A)(1)). After returning to public session, members moved, seconded and approved a certification that only the registrar's annual performance review had been discussed; the members attested to that fact by signing the minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 PM. The minutes document includes signatures naming Chan Winght III (Chairman), Donna Dagner (Vice Chairman), David Dalton (Secretary) and Oliver Wright.
The registrar's full report outline is available at the registrar's office; the minutes record does not list movers/seconders or vote tallies for the motions recorded. The Emergency Polling Place Plan and the cybersecurity grant were scheduled to be taken up by the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 14.
