Board of Elections Regular Monthly Meeting

The Richmond County Board of Elections held its regular monthly meeting on September 14, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on election preparations for the November 3, 2026 general and special elections, such as the mailing of military and absentee ballots, logic and accuracy testing of voting machines starting September 21, and the scheduling of advanced voting and election day activities. The board approved combining the November 6 pre-certification, certification, and monthly meetings to streamline election certification processes. Additionally, the board discussed the upcoming precinct changes due to St. Augustine's Episcopal Church withdrawing as a polling location, with plans to merge precinct 705 voters into precinct 706 at Warren Road, pending public hearings and legal notices in 2027. Outreach efforts for voter registration and education were also reviewed, including community events and training sessions. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
