Board approves term‑length change and combined election agreements with Mead and Lawrence counties
Summary
The board voted to change board member terms from three to four years and approved combined election agreements with Mead County and Lawrence County to share resources and election equipment for the June 2026 election cycle.
The board approved amending policy to revise board member term lengths from three years to four years after a motion and brief discussion about recruiting. The motion carried by voice vote.
The board also authorized the business manager to enter combined election agreements: one with Mead County to share polling locations and rent electronic ballot scanning equipment for the June 2026 election, and another with Lawrence County to conduct even‑numbered‑year elections in conjunction with the county to reduce costs and encourage turnout. Administration noted combined elections reduce duplicated polling places and staffing needs; the board approved both motions by voice votes.
