Board notes new voting equipment and raises three VEBA legislative concerns
Summary
The Electoral Board reported delivery and testing of new voting equipment and scheduled scanners and an ExpressVote for the office. Chairman Donna Dagner raised three statewide legislative concerns flagged by VEBA: legal representation for board members, salary equity for Electoral Board members and reducing the 45-day early voting period.
Board members noted that new voting equipment had been delivered to Lunenburg County and tested. The minutes say the secretary will bring two scanners and an ExpressVote machine to the office on Thursday (12/15) and that the newly appointed board member will assist with setup.
During new business, Chairman Donna Dagner raised three items that VEBA had identified as concerns for Electoral Boards statewide: proposals on legal representation for board members, a push for salary equity across Electoral Board members, and a proposed reduction of the 45-day early voting period. The board discussed the items as topics of statewide interest; no formal position, vote, or referral was recorded in the minutes.
The registrar tentatively scheduled meeting dates for the year and will publish required public notices. The board set its February meeting for Feb. 3 at 4:00 PM and adjourned at 5:40 PM.
