Jericho Board of Civil Authority approves Aug. minutes and certifies roughly 120 new voters
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting, the Jericho Board of Civil Authority approved its Aug. 20, 2025 minutes, added about 120 names to the voter checklist (mostly newly turned 18 registrants), and accepted roughly 40 deletions due to transfers to other Vermont towns.
The Jericho Board of Civil Authority approved its Aug. 20, 2025 minutes and certified a slate of voter checklist changes at a meeting on Feb. 10.
A member moved to approve the minutes and the board voted to adopt them unanimously. The board then reviewed applications to add about 120 names to the checklist; members said the additions were largely new 18-year-old registrants and likely originated from DMV data or recent school registration drives. After brief discussion, the board moved and approved the additions, making the registrants official Jericho voters.
The board also reviewed two deletion lists. Staff explained a set of 'purged' records were largely responses to challenge letters from 2023 and 2025 and noted one entry needed a corrected disposition of 'response to challenge letter.' Separately, the board accepted roughly 40 deletions that staff identified as transfers—people who have registered to vote in other Vermont towns. The board voted to accept those deletions, formally removing those names from Jericho’s checklist.
The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes for these votes; outcomes were announced during the meeting as approved. A member present noted a planned voter-registration drive at a local school next week that may generate additional registrations.
Next procedural items on the agenda addressed election‑day operations and training for assistant presiding officers ahead of the March 3 town meeting election.
