Irwin County schedules RLA, sets July 15 runoff and post‑election timeline
Summary
The board scheduled a Risk‑Limiting Audit for June 26 and set a July 15 runoff for PSC District 3 (Peter Hubbard vs. Keisha Sean Waites); staff outlined equipment testing, early voting windows and post‑election processing dates.
The Irwin County Board of Elections and Registrations outlined its post‑election schedule on June 20, setting a Risk‑Limiting Audit (RLA) for Thursday, June 26 and scheduling a runoff election for July 15, 2025, for the Democratic nomination for Public Service Commission District 3.
Supervisor Ethan Compton said the RLA is scheduled from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. but, given the low number of ballots cast in this special primary, staff expect the audit work to finish much sooner and said they may perform a full count of all ballots for the contested races (Republican District 2 and Democratic District 3) rather than only the batches randomly selected by the Secretary of State’s Office.
Compton announced the runoff matchup between Peter Hubbard and Keisha Sean Waites for the PSC District 3 Democratic nomination and reviewed related timeline items: equipment testing on July 1, early voting from July 7 through July 11 (8 a.m.–5 p.m.), sub‑batching and high‑definition scanning on July 16, and a post‑election audit on July 24. The transcript’s phrasing for the absentee‑by‑mail deadline was unclear; the office did not provide a single unambiguous date in the record.
The board also reminded members that, for the RLA, two audit teams per party are expected to participate and that all ballots for the noted contested races will be counted beginning at 10 a.m. on audit day.
