HRC chair urges Hanover County not to adopt a separate electoral-board policy manual
Summary
Jack Dyer, chair of the HRC Committee, told the Electoral Board he believes state law already provides an Electoral Board policy manual and that Hanover County should not create a separate local manual; he also praised Registrar Teri Smithson ahead of her planned retirement.
Jack Dyer, chair of the HRC Committee, told the board that his understanding is that "there is already a policy manual for Electoral Boards in the State Code" and that he "doesn’t see a need for Hanover County to create their own policy manual." Dyer also expressed regret about Registrar Teri Smithson’s upcoming retirement and said he believes she is the county's strongest registrar.
The board accepted public comment without immediate action on the policy manual proposal. The public comment appears to have influenced the discussion in new business, where the board later moved to continue refining a master policy manual and seek legal feedback before proceeding.
