Board hears early-voting survey results, schedules public input session
Summary
Staff reported 534 early-voting plan survey submissions and the board scheduled a public input session for June 23; staff said the state plan deadline is mid-July and encouraged continued community feedback.
Staff told the Buncombe County Board of Elections that the early-voting plan survey had received 534 responses at the time of the meeting and that local media coverage had driven traffic to the questionnaire. Staff noted that previous surveys had reached higher numbers but that the current response window had only recently opened.
Board members agreed to a public input session tied to the next board meeting, set for Tuesday, June 23 at 5:30 p.m., and staff encouraged community members to submit comments through the survey or speak at the meeting. Staff said the county aimed to finalize the early-voting plan well before the state deadline, and gave a target date in mid-July for final submission.
The board clarified that the June 23 meeting would be for input, not necessarily for a vote on the plan; staff will continue to collect feedback, refine the plan and bring a final draft forward before the state filing deadline.
