November 6th 2026 Special Called Board of Elections Meeting

The special-called Fayette County Board of Elections meeting, titled November 6, 2026, was held to review precinct returns as required by statute. The board unanimously approved the agenda and later adjournment. Election Director Garrett said the election summary was preliminary because overseas ballots could still be submitted until 7:00 p.m.; 21 provisional ballots were reported, and 17 ballots remained to be scanned. Members reviewed precinct results, provisional-ballot dispositions, and differing voter-registration totals attributed to state-provided data and election software. They also requested clearer acronym explanations and discussed sharing precinct incident information to support quality assurance and future poll-worker training; no formal action was taken on these requests.

The board noted that new election software and equipment may be contracted for by the state in the coming years and referenced a prior equipment showcase featuring vendors. No procurement decision, vendor selection, contract award, or spending authorization occurred at this meeting. A public commenter thanked county election staff for a well-run Election Day.
