Board notes new State Elections Board rule requiring written voter lists; county calls it redundant
Summary
Union County elections staff told the board that the State Elections Board adopted a rule requiring each voter checked in on a Poll Pad also have their name written on a paper sheet; the county described the requirement as redundant and not clearly useful.
At the July 13 meeting, Elections Superintendent Elizabeth Stevens reported that the State Elections Board (SEB) passed a rule requiring that every voter checked in on a Poll Pad also have their name written on a paper sheet at the polling place. Stevens told the board the office views the requirement as redundant and questioned its usefulness for local administration.
The minutes do not record further action by the Union County board on the rule; no vote or motion was recorded to challenge or implement a local protocol change. The board will need to follow the SEB rule for the November election cycle unless clarified or changed by the state.
