The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on August 20, 2026, which included recognition of long-serving county employees retiring after decades of service. The meeting also addressed a significant update to the county's ballot curing process ahead of the upcoming election. The board discussed and approved a policy to automatically cancel and replace mail-in ballots with errors such as missing signatures or secrecy envelopes, aiming to increase the number of valid votes counted. This new procedure includes sending new ballots promptly to affected voters along with clear instructions, improving upon previous notification methods. Additionally, the board approved the relocation of two polling locations due to unstable utility services. The meeting concluded with discussions on election transparency, website updates to inform voters about election processes, and considerations for future voting machine systems. Motions to approve the ballot curing policy and polling location changes were passed unanimously.
