Camden County elections chair resigns; vice chair to assume duties and Joe Stell confirmed as vice chair
Summary
The chair of the Camden County Board of Elections submitted a resignation and, under the board’s bylaws, the vice chair will assume the chair duties. The board nominated and approved Joe Stell as the new vice chair; the change takes place ahead of fall elections and qualifying deadlines.
The chair of the Camden County Board of Elections and Registration announced she had submitted her resignation to Rock Carter and said the resignation would take effect at the end of the meeting.
Under the board’s bylaws (Article 4, Section 2-c), the vice chair is to assume the duties of chair for the remainder of the unexpired two‑year term. The chair asked Ray Holland whether he was willing to accept the chair position; the board proceeded under that process and the vice chair will assume the chair role.
The board then opened nominations for vice chair. A board member nominated Joe Stell for the vice chair position and the motion to select Stell was made and seconded. The board approved the nomination by voice vote.
Chair (by procedure) explained the automatic succession and noted the resignation is effective at the close of the meeting. The board offered brief congratulations to Ray Holland and Joe Stell following the vote. No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes captured by the transcript; the nomination and selection were completed by motion, second and voice vote.
The leadership change comes as the office prepares for municipal candidate qualifying, absentee‑by‑mail processing and the November election calendar that staff reviewed later in the meeting.
