The Summit County Board of Elections held a meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily addressing routine administrative and operational matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of bills related to postage expenses, specifically a $20,000 allocation for the Pittney Bowes postage machine reserve account and a $10,000 permit imprint account for mailing. The board also approved payroll for two biweekly periods covering full-time, part-time, and overtime staff. Additionally, the board discussed and approved the remaking of certain ballots due to damage or voter intent clarification.
