Board counts one provisional ballot after closed-session review under state code
Summary
Under Sec. 2.2-3711(A)(4) of the Code of Virginia the Madison County Electoral Board met in closed session to consider one provisional ballot. General Registrar Lauren Eanes reported the voter was duly registered and the board agreed to count the ballot.
The Madison County Electoral Board entered a closed session on Aug. 5, 2026, under Sec. 2.2-3711(A)(4) of the Code of Virginia to consider a single provisional ballot cast on Election Day. After review, the board agreed to count the ballot.
General Registrar Lauren Eanes reported to the board that "the voter was duly registered to vote and should have been given a regular ballot." Following that report the board resolved to count the provisional ballot; minutes record the board's agreement. The board then returned to open session and each board member swore that no subjects other than the provisional ballot had been considered in closed session.
The action was recorded in the minutes; no further details about the voter's identity or the provisional ballot's content were included in the public record.
